A stunning new book is set to shake the legacy of Queen frontman Freddie Mercury. Love, Freddie claims the rock legend fathered a secret daughter in 1976 during an affair with a friend’s wife—a revelation kept hidden for nearly five decades.
Only a tight inner circle, including his parents, sister, and close confidant Mary Austin, were aware of the child’s existence.

The now 48-year-old woman lives in Europe, works in the medical field, and is a mother herself—making Freddie a grandfather he never knew. Her story is detailed by renowned rock biographer Lesley-Ann Jones, marking one of the most personal and shocking chapters yet in Mercury’s storied life.
As fans brace for the full story, one thing is clear: the man who gave the world “Bohemian Rhapsody” had a real-life drama few ever imagined.
