On 23 May 2025, a new biography revealed that Freddie Mercury, the legendary frontman of Queen, allegedly fathered a daughter in 1976. The woman, now aged 48, is referred to only as 'B', and has remained out of the public eye for decades. According to the biography Love, Freddie, written by Lesley-Ann Jones, Mercury kept in contact with B until his death in 1991, and even entrusted her with a collection of personal journals.
The revelation has sent ripples across the music world and Queen's global fanbase. The news was first shared by several media outlets following excerpts from the book's pre-release materials. According to the author, the claim is backed by Mercury's handwritten diaries and supported by close contacts within his inner circle, including confidante Mary Austin.
