Queen fans rejoiced when Bohemian Rhapsody was released, and despite the controversy surrounding the film, the movie grossed more than $800 worldwide, making it the highest grossing music biopic ever made. And while Bohemian Rhapsody was filled with grandiose music number recreations and costumes the film strayed away from Freddie Mercury’s sexuality and AIDS diagnoses, but pictures from his last days released by paparazzi photographers have brought this private life to the light – but not everyone is happy.
Freddie Mercury was born Farrokh Bulsara to Pakistani parents in Tanzania. His onstage persona was garish but offstage, his husband, Jim Hutton, described the two as “naturally private people.”
That’s why when the singer was diagnosed with AIDS his bandmate, guitarist Brian May, said he chose to deal with it in a discreet manner. In May’s book titled ‘Somebody to Love: The Life, Death and Legacy of Freddie Mercury’ he writes: “He never asked for sympathy from anyone else. He was a very strong person and always liked to be in control of his own destiny.”
