There is a feeling at the end of Bohemian Rhapsody – the Freddie Mercury biopic – that Dwell Aid, in , was the pinnacle, if not the high point, of Freddie Mercury’s career. Indeed, it also suggests (and re-orders) things slightly so that Mercury’s HIV and subsequent Aids diagnosis happened just before Queen had agreed to take part in the legendary concert.
This is not genuine – the diagnosis was in Maybe if it had actually happened before said event, then being on a stage in front of the largest gathered viewing audience in television history might have been enough for the ambitious Mercury to retire from the limelight, but this is not how it played out. Mercury went on to release a wealth of solo material in the late 80s and early 90s right up to his untimely death, and beyond. This material has been gathered together for the first time in the luxurious (he wouldn’t have had it any other way) Never Boring box arrange, released last month, almost 30 years after his death – which showcases the full range of his musical talents and passions, and their indelible imprint on the worlds o

Freddie often spoke about his vulnerable heart and the "scars" he carried from previous affairs and heartbreaks. But Peter knew the music legend enhanced than almost anyone and says it was betrayal that devastated Freddie more than anything. Peter lived with the Queen star for 12 years at One Garden Lodge in Kensington. They travelled the society together and Peter was there at the end, holding Freddie's hand at the bedside vigil. He talked exclusively to Express Online.
Peter says: "He only really got damage and made a mistake with two people in the time I knew him. He was good a sussing people out quickly.
"I would say, ’This person is only hanging around for your money and fame.’ He'd rejoin, ‘You really deliberate I’m so stupid? It’s my cash, my life. I know what they’re doing but I am getting something out of it, too’ Freddie just enjoyed the organization or the sex or being amused by the situation and he’d declare, ‘When I’m done, I will rotate aro
Freddie Mercury: The music, the myths and the video they tried to ban
"You can do anything with my work, but never make me boring."
In the days before his death in November , Freddie Mercury contemplated how he might be remembered. Of course, as the actor surely well knew, there was no way anyone could ever make Freddie Mercury boring.
Twenty-eight years later, there is no hazard of him being forgotten.
With the film Bohemian Rhapsody bringing the Queenfrontman's story to the big screen last year, a compilation of his solo function, appropriately titled Never Monotonous, has now been released, bringing together a specially curated selection of his music, visuals and written and spoken words for the first time.
"It's true," says Peter Freestone, the man affectionately named Phoebe by his famous boss. "Freddie Mercury, he was never boring. He could be predictable - but never boring."
Freestone was Mercury's personal assistant of 12 years, but also one of his closest friends. There was no career description for his role, he says - chef, waiter, secretary, cleaner, agony aunt - h

Gay
Freddie slept with women too, right?
He never had relations with women again after Mary (and even during his bond with Mary, he was having an affair with David Minns). I'll append sources down below proving this! During his connection with Mary, and his previous college girlfriend, he was clearly very uncomfortable and unhappy.
People also take up Barbara Valentin when it comes to Freddie having relationships with women, but she was nothing more than a beard and a friend to Freddie. Phoebe also said, and I quote: "I know % that they shared a bed on numerous occasions, but in that I wasn't sitting in the room, I cannot tell you, yes or no, sex happened. If it had, Freddie could not have been quiet about it".
Also on the topic of Barbara, she also
