Millions knew Freddie Mercury as the larger-than-life voice of Queen.<\/p>\n
But Mary Austin knew the man behind the superstar.<\/p>\n
Mary met Freddie in 1970, before Queen became famous. They fell in love, lived together and even became engaged. Although their romantic relationship eventually ended, their bond never did.<\/p>\n
Mary remained one of Freddie\u2019s closest and most trusted people for the rest of his life.<\/p>\n
When Freddie passed away in 1991, he left Mary his beloved London home, Garden Lodge, along with a substantial portion of his estate.<\/p>\n
But he also trusted her with something far more private: his ashes.<\/p>\n
Freddie asked Mary to place them somewhere secret, and more than three decades later, she still refuses to reveal the location.<\/p>\n
Now 75, Mary has been sharing rare memories of their relationship and the private Freddie the public rarely saw.<\/p>\n
She remembers the young man before worldwide fame, his songwriting at home and the extraordinary friendship they maintained long after their romance changed.<\/p>\n
The world knew Freddie Mercury the superstar.<\/p>\n
