Mary Austin, Freddie Mercury's ex-fiancée who has been preserving his legacy for years: "Our love was much more powerful than I ever imagined"
The main heir to the rock icon is launching her book 'Una vida en verso, Freddie Mercury' in Spain, which includes manuscripts of the lyrics and personal photos of the Queen singer. In a conversation with EL PAÍS, she states that her intention is for the rest of her life to revolve around the memory of the artist and what was “extraordinary about him”
Mary Austin, Freddie Mercury's first partner, lives in Garden Lodge, the London house she inherited from him. The 75-year-old appears via video call from a simple room with a white wall and office chair. Austin is a private person and has made few public appearances, including a notable increase in recognition after the 2018 release of the film Bohemian Rhapsody. She refers to Mercury as "the love of my life" and has dedicated her life to remembering him since his death from AIDS in November 1991.
