Freddie Mercury’s undisclosed daughter, who came to light in a revelatory book last year, has passed away at 48. The hidden daughter of the Queen legend, known only as B, was disclosed before the launch of a revealing book named Love, Freddie. The offspring shared her connection to the rock star with author and music journalist Lesley-Ann Jones, but her true identity remained undisclosed.
Following the bombshell disclosure, the rockstar’s covert daughter has now passed away, just three years older than her father was at the time of his death in 1991. Her family confirmed her peaceful demise after battling chordoma, a rare spinal cancer, leaving behind two young sons aged nine and seven.
Her bereaved husband, Thomas, conveyed to the Daily Mail, “B is now reunited with her beloved father in the realm of thoughts. Her ashes were scattered over the Alps.” Lesley-Ann Jones, the author of the book, expressed deep sorrow over the loss, emphasizing the woman’s dedication to uncovering the truth about Freddie’s life.
Last year, the author disclosed that Freddie had a secret child from an affair in 1976. Lesley-Ann highlighted the privilege of working with Freddie’s only child to authentically portray his life. In light of her passing, more insights emerged about Freddie’s secret daughter, including his affectionate nicknames for her and the songs he reportedly dedicated to her.
Freddie reportedly fathered his daughter during an unexpected encounter in 1976. Although her identity was kept confidential, information emerged about her European residence, profession in healthcare, and motherhood. Freddie’s daughter, who was aware of her lineage and received his personal journals, eventually entrusted them to Jones, forming the basis of the revealing book.
Freddie’s private nature extended to his AIDS diagnosis, which he disclosed shortly before his demise in 1991. Despite his various relationships, including with Mary Austin, Freddie’s lifelong friend, the existence of his daughter remained a closely guarded secret known to only a select few. His daughter, referred to as ‘Bibi,’ affirmed their close and loving relationship in a heartfelt letter for the book.
Lesley-Ann Jones also shared her initial reservations about the daughter’s claims but ultimately acknowledged their authenticity. The revelations surrounding Freddie’s secret daughter shed light on a lesser-known aspect of the iconic musician’s life and legacy.
