FREDDIE MERCURY'S SECRET DAUGHTER REVEALED!

The singer's personal journals expose a shocking family mystery

- 

More than three decades after the death of legendary Queen frontman Freddie Mercury, a bombshell new biography has revealed the existence of a secret love child.

For nearly 50 years, only a handful of people in the rocker's innermost circle ever knew that he had a daughter. Now Love, Freddie, by famed biographer Lesley-Ann Jones, lifts the lid on the child, who grew up knowing Freddie was her real father.

Conceived accidentally during a fling with the wife of one of Freddie's close friends in 1976, a year after Bohemian Rhapsody was released, it was decided the child would live with her mother and stepdad, with Freddie helping to raise her.

“Freddie visited and stayed with them frequently,” says Lesley-Ann. “He spoke to his daughter every day when he was away on tour or in the recording studio.”

The same year his daughter, known in the book as “B”, was born, Freddie began keeping a diary, chronicling everything from his childhood onwards.

Born Farrokh Bulsara in Tanzania on 5 September 1946, he secretly passed all 17 volumes to the then-15-year-old upon his death from bronchial pneumonia caused by Aids on 24 November 1991.

Only her mother, stepfather, nanny and Freddie's former fiancée Mary Austin, 74, knew he'd gifted them to her. Armed with the journals, “B” met with Lesley-Ann in Montreux, Switzerland, in 2022.
