Freddie Mercury explained why he left everything to Mary 'She gets me through it all'
Freddie Mercury split up with Mary in 1976, 15 years before he passed away. So why did he leave her an enormous fortune and half of all his future earnings from Queen? The star actually spent his final years in a loving relationship with his partner Jim Hutton. He was surrounded by friends and lived with his ex-boyfriend Joe Fanelli and his friend and PA Peter Freestone. He was survived by his parents, Jer and Bomi Bulsara, and his sister Kasmira and her family. But he famously said: “If I go first, I’m going to leave everything to her. Nobody else gets a penny, except my cats.”
Mary remained an integral part of his life. She had relationships and two sons while Freddie began to explore his sexuality and dated a succession of men before finally settling down with Jim.
Mary was also employed to manage all of Freddie’s accounts and manage his household.
Freddie appeared to have everything. He was the ultimate showman and rarely revealed much about his inner thoughts. However, in one candid interview, he said: “I might have all the problems in the world but I have Mary and that gets me through…
“I still see her every day and I am as fond of her now as I have ever been. I’ll love her until I draw my last breath.”
