A new biography about Freddie Mercury is making huge headlines. The legendary Queen frontman, known for his powerful voice and exciting stage presence, may have had a secret daughter that no one knew about—until now.
The book, called Love, Freddie, is written by rock biographer Lesley-Ann Jones. It tells the story of a woman known only as “B”, who claims to be Freddie’s daughter. She says Freddie loved her deeply and stayed in her life until he passed away in 1991.
Who Is B?
B is now 48 years old and lives in Europe. She works as a medical professional and has kept this secret for decades. She recently shared her story, saying she felt it was time to let the truth come out.
Her story is not just based on memory. B has 17 personal diaries written by Freddie himself. These journals contain his thoughts, feelings, and experiences—from his childhood in Zanzibar to his final days in 1991.
In a handwritten letter, B writes: “Freddie Mercury was and is my father. He adored me and was devoted to me. He cherished me like a treasured possession.”
How It All Started
According to the book, B was born after Freddie had an affair in 1976 with the wife of one of his close friends. The pregnancy was a surprise. Two days after Queen released “You’re My Best Friend,” Freddie found out he was going to be a father.
That’s when he began keeping a journal. The first entry, dated June 20, 1976, talks about how shocked and emotional he was. Though it was an unusual situation, Freddie promised himself he would be there for his daughter in whatever way he could.
A Hidden But Loving Relationship of Freddie Mercury
For 15 years, Freddie kept his daughter a secret from the world, but that didn’t stop him from being a father. B says he visited her often, sometimes using fake names or disguises. He gave her gifts, wrote letters, and shared advice.
To her, he wasn’t a rockstar. He was just “Dad.” She says he was kind, funny, and full of love. He reminded her to stay true to herself and always value her education and future.
Only a few people in Freddie’s inner circle knew about B, and they helped protect the secret. They respected Freddie’s decision and never betrayed his trust.
Freddie Mercury Private Diaries
The most powerful proof of their bond comes from the 17 volumes of journals Freddie gave to B. These are not music notes or tour plans—they are full of deep thoughts, emotions, and stories.
In his writing, he talks about:
- His childhood in Zanzibar
- Moving to the UK
- The pressures of fame
- His personal relationships
- His feelings as a father
His last entry was written on July 31, 1991, just months before he passed away. In it, he told B how proud he was of her and reminded her to “stay kind, stay curious, and never be afraid to be yourself.”
Why B Is Speaking Out Now about Freddie Mercury
B says she kept the secret for more than 30 years because she wanted to protect her father’s memory and her own privacy. But now, she feels it’s time to let Freddie speak through his own words.
She reached out to Lesley-Ann Jones, who spent over three years working with her to tell this story. Jones says she was doubtful at first but eventually believed B because of the overwhelming amount of evidence.
B isn’t looking for attention or money. She simply wants the world to know a side of Freddie Mercury that no one has seen—the father who loved his daughter more than anything.
