Freddie Mercury's 65th Birthday: Freddie's Time Ran Out Too Soon

Yesterday, September 5, 2011, was Labor Day and also Freddie Mercury's birthday. The popular and immensely talented Freddie Mercury, whose real name was Farrokh Bulsara, was born on Thursday, September 5, 1946. Freddie Mercury would have turned 65 years old yesterday if he had not died an untimely death due to AIDS on November 24, 1991. 

Freddie Mercury was the lead singer of the rock group Queen. Freddie's excellent singing voice, combined with his sometimes whimsical and often powerful performances, made him one of the most popular rock stars of all time, and the fascination with Freddie Mercury's life and death continues to this day. If Freddie had not died at such a young age, who knows what other amazing things he might have accomplished in his life?

Freddie Mercury's AIDS Announcement Made One Day Before He Died

I have been writing about the unique Freddie Mercury/Mary Austin love relationship. Freddie Mercury was gay.


Here are the last public words Freddie Mercury spoke, a little over 24 hours before his death from bronchial pneumonia resulting from AIDS.


"Although rumours about his health were rampant, he continued to deny that he had AIDS. However, from the video for "These Are the Days of Our Lives," which represents Mercury's last appearance on film, it was clear from his gaunt appearance that he was seriously ill. *(Scroll to the bottom of this post to view this video.) On November 22, 1991 Mercury called Queen's manager Jim Beach over to his Kensington home to discuss a public statement. The following day, November 23, the following announcement was made to the press:


'Following the enormous conjecture in the press over the last two weeks, I wish to confirm that I have been tested HIV positive and have AIDS. I felt it correct to keep this information private to date to protect the privacy of those around me. However, the time has come now for my friends and fans around the world to know the truth and I hope that everyone will join with my doctors and all those worldwide in the fight against this terrible disease. My privacy has always been very special to me and I am famous for my lack of interviews. Please understand this policy will continue.'" 1

Freddie Mercury: Would He Vote For Or Against Gay Marriage?

Freddie Mercury: Would He Vote For Or Against Gay Marriage?

My guess is that you probably won't hear about Queen's famous rocker Freddie Mercury, and his amazing love for a woman, Mary Austin, from most gay activist organizations. In case you're visiting from an unknown planet,Freddie Mercury was gay (no pun intended).


Gay activists want heterosexuals to believe that not allowing gays to marry is tantamount to being a Jew-hater in Nazi Germany. In other words, that being gay is equal to being a member of a religious denomination, such as Judaism (Gayism?).


In fact, there was a television advertisement implying this shortly before Californians voted against gay marriage a second time, in spite of the California Court's previous positive ruling. I saw the ad myself, and it implied that if you don't vote in favor of gay marriage, you are an intolerant racist bigot.

I'm sorry, but homosexuality isn't a religion. While it is true that Hitler's Nazi henchmen killed about 6 million Jews, many homosexuals and practically wiped out the entire Gypsy population in Europe, along with torturing the mentally challenged, and others, that still doesn't make homosexuality a religion or a race. It is a sexual preference, nothing more and nothing less.

Would Freddie Mercury have been in favor of gay marriage had he made it to 2009? I don't think so. Freddie only had eyes, in his soul, in his innermost being, for a woman, Mary Austin. I don't believe that the thought of marrying a man ever even entered his brain.

Here's a short video of Freddie Mercury's last public appearance in 1990. Freddie Mercury died, a victim of AIDS due to his promiscuous homosexual behavior, in 1991.

Freddie Mercury: His Heart Belonged To Mary Austin

It is well known that Freddie Mercury, rock star of Queen (real name Farrokh Bulsara), practiced a homosexual lifestyle and was one of the earliest celebrities to die of AIDS as a direct result of his promiscuous gay behavior. Nevertheless, in spite of all that, Freddie Mercury persisted to proclaim his undying love for a woman named Mary Austin.

"He once said of Austin- 'All my lovers asked me why they couldn't replace Mary (Austin) but it's simply impossible. The only friend I've got is Mary and I don't want anybody else. To me, she was my common-law wife. To me, it was a marriage. We believe in each other, that's enough for me. I couldn't fall in love with a man the same way as I have with Mary.'"[21] 1

Freddie Mercury on Marriage: "To me, SHE was my common-law wife. To me, it was a marriage."

If Freddie Mercury of the rock band Queen were alive today, would he have voted Yes or No on Proposition 8, California's heavily controversial gay marriage amendment? I believe that Freddie Mercury would have cast a Yes vote, yes meaning, in the case of Proposition 8, that he would favor traditional marriage between a man and his wife, and not gay marriage.


Why? The love of Freddie Mercury's life was a woman named Mary Austin, in spite of his many sexual liasons with men. Freddie said that he considered Mary Austin to be his wife.*

Did Freddie Mercury write the song entitled "Love of My Life," for a man? No, the song "Love of My Life" was written for Mary Austin. **


Note: View You Tube slide show of Freddie Mercury and Mary Austin below.


"In the early 1970s Mercury had a long-term relationship with a girlfriend named Mary Austin (whom he had met through guitarist Brian May). He lived with Austin for many years. However, by the mid-1970s, the singer began an affair with a male record executive at Elektra Records; this ultimately resulted in the end of his relationship with Austin.[40] Mercury and Austin nevertheless remained close friends through the years, with Mercury often referring to her as his only true friend. In a 1985 interview, Mercury said of Austin, 'All my lovers asked me why they couldn't replace Mary [Austin], but it's simply impossible. The only friend I've got is Mary, and I don't want anybody else. *To me, she was my common-law wife. To me, it was a marriage. We believe in each other, that's enough for me.'"[41] **He also wrote several songs about Austin, the most notable of which is 'Love of My Life'. Mercury was also the godfather of Mary's eldest son, Richard.[33]" 1


In fact, Freddie loved Mary so much that he left most of his enormous wealth to Mary Austin.

"In his will Mercury left the vast majority of his wealth, including his home and recording royalties, to Mary Austin, and the remainder to his parents and sister. He further left £500,000 to his chef Joe Fanelli, £500,000 to his personal assistant Peter Freestone, £100,000 to his driver Terry Giddings, and £500,000 to Jim Hutton.[50] Mary Austin continues to live at Mercury's home, Garden Lodge, Kensington, with her family.[50] Hutton moved back to the Republic of Ireland permanently in 1995, where he still lives. He was involved in a 2000 biography of Mercury, Freddie Mercury, the Untold Story, and also gave an interview for The Times for what would have been Mercury's 60th birthday.cf. [46]" 1
