Walk into my local newsagents today, and the first thing I see is a headline claiming Freddie Mercury had a secret daughter. I knew who was responsible for this before even reading the article.

Lesley Ann Jones is at it again. She’s now claiming in her latest book that Freddie had a secret love child. She interviews an anonymous woman, who discovered he was her father and bonded with him in the last 15 years of his life. He apparently loved and adored her, but also wanted to keep her a secret from the world (???)

Of course, the events surrounding how she was conceived are “outrageous” and “possibly controversial.”

I swear, this woman will never let Freddie rest.

Queen - Freddie Mercury

Baby Rog from the final installment of the (excellent!!) Queen: The Greatest series special edition of Queen I 🥰. An excellent closer to the series and a perfect opportunity to plug my own Queen I recap:

Denim on denim

My favorite Roger outfits

This look is so good. The denim look is tricky, I think we all know the ‘00s denim disaster from Justin Timberlake and Britney Spears. But Roger pulls it off. Also, may I address the hole by his…ass. Mmmmm sexyyyyy.

Here we see a nice full-length shot. I think I can spot the silver glittery shoes.

Also, can we talk about the sheer audacity of that patch…right on his crotch for a minute? Like jeez Roger, not fair.

Here we see the famous hat, you love or hate it. It’s definitely a thing on its own.

It’s all topped of with a pair of sunglasses, and of course, a cigarette. Unmissable.

I love when you’re watching an interview with Roger and you can tell he has an answer/statement in his head that he’s debating whether or not to say and you can just see the mischief come over his face
