27 years without Freddie Mercury 5th September 1946 – 24th November 1991

Mercury filmed his last music video, looking very frail, in May 1991. The song “These Are The Days Of Our Lives” is still considered his goodbye to his fans. He continued to work until November before becoming too weak to leave his house.

Peter Freestone was Freddie Mercury’s personal assistant for 12 years and he rarely left the Queen frontman’s side during the height of his fame.

“He said to all of us, “I will have no more drugs that will keep me alive now”,” Freestone said. It was only then that Mercury released a statement confirming he had AIDS. Freddie died two days later at home, aged 45.

“He just stopped breathing,” Peter Freestone told Rahni Sadler.
