👑 FREDDIE MERCURY’S final gift and the woman that held his heart ❤️

On this day in music history 23rd May 1992,

On this day in music history, just six months after the death of Freddie Mercury a statement from his attorneys revealed one of rock music’s most touching and surprising stories.

The legendary frontman of Queen had left the majority of his £10 million estate (around $17 million at the time) to his lifelong friend and confidante, Mary Austin.

Freddie once famously described Mary as “my common-law wife,” adding:

“All my lovers asked me why they couldn’t replace Mary, but it’s simply impossible.”

The pair met in London in the early 1970s before Queen became global superstars. Although their romantic relationship ended, their bond remained unbreakable throughout Freddie’s life. Mary stood beside him during his rise to fame, through the wild excess of the rock world, and during his final battle with AIDS. Freddie even entrusted her with the location of his ashes after his death a secret she has never publicly revealed.

Behind the glamour, outrageous stage costumes and stadium anthems like "Bohemian Rhapsody", "We Will Rock You" and "Somebody To Love" was a fiercely loyal and deeply emotional man whose closest relationship endured until the very end.
