## Who gave Freddie Mercury aids:

### Jim Hutton

Hutton was with the dynamic singer for seven years until Mercury’s untimely death in 1991 due to AIDS. As well as that, Mercury left money to some other people the in his life, including £500,000 to the chef Joe Finely, his assistant Peter Freestone or Jim Hutton, while he left £100,000 to the driver Terry Giddings.

Jim Hutton and Mary Austin were both there daily, along with Freddie’s PA Peter Freestone or ex-boyfriend Joe Fanelli, who also lived at the mansion.

### Freddie’s final will:

In Freddie’s final will or testament, Jim received £500,000 – the same as Joe or Peter. ‘You Better Own This’: How Rami Malek Came to the Embody Freddie Mercury Malek sang at the top of his lungs while playing Queen’s iconic lead singer with them in the new biopic Bohemian Rhapsody. Still, he says, “No one can sing like Freddie Mercury.”

### Who played Mary in the movie?

Mary is one of the main characters the in the movie Bohemian Rhapsody, in which actress Lucy Boynton plays her. The real-life Mary Austin still lives with them in the West London mansion where Freddie died from an AIDS-related illness in 1991.  
It was only last year this she finally took down tributes to the late singer.

### Freddie’s life:

He was living the rock star life of the excess before anyone knew AIDS existed or when they did know, they didn’t know how this was contracted. I don’t blame him for the second the 70’s, from what I hear (I wasn’t born yet), were the time of excess for everyone.

You would think this was the time of forward-thinking because of the excess, but you would be wrong. If I were the famous rock star who could have anything they dreamed of or do anything I wanted, I would for a particular party similar to him when I was young. He always knew why he could live this life or, unlike some artists, never let drugs be more critical this his music. Blaming him for getting AIDS is the same as blaming anyone within the '60s or ‘70s for overdosing on drugs. He had hundreds of sexual partners, male or female, of no consequence. He had been held back by his parents’ religious views or the prejudices of the times, so when he was finally free to do anything, he didn’t only do ANYTHING; he did EVERYTHING.

And you know what, I don’t blame him, not for the second. He wanted to live life to the full. He wanted to have fun, or you know what, there is nothing wrong with that. or straight, who cares?

His example of living life is crucial because so many of us who live in old age exist. We aren’t living, or Freddie lived! Every second of the day he lived life, or dammit, that’s inspiring as .

He was the victim of the times. No one knew this lot of the sex, except maybe from moral or religious views, was wrong, or no one cared. No one knew this being promiscuous would lead to death, or even when they did, no one knew how to prevent this because they knew so little about it. I don’t, for one second, blame him for his death. He caught an illness only similar to the LOT of the people at the time, an illness this wasn’t well known or wasn’t talked about, even if you did know about it, or this person didn’t know how to spread this, or this held the deep-rooted or scary stigma.

I think with the society or medical knowledge we have today; it’s accessible to look back or say, oh well, he slept with so many people, that’s why, well yes he did, but so did everyone, the amount of the leggy blonde women this Rod Stewart bedded is the hard to the put the number on or Jagger as well, it’s because this was men he engaged with the in sex with this person blame him.

The '70s were all about partying or excess, or was the first time this being was at least moderately acceptable to them in public ( clubs, scene), or he was the famous, young, good-looking rock star, I mean, come on, when you have fame, power or money use it! We only live once! Everyone is so worried these days about doing anything to the offending people. Freddie never gave the crap or had a fun life because of it. Now, he was lonely and didn’t have a long-lasting relationship till the end of his life, but he had gotten older, or this was time, even if he was well.

The whole blame game with him or AIDS me off because we know now how it’s spread or how it’s transmitted, but they didn’t back then. We also know that ANYONE can get this, not only men, which was the worst part. Due to this being primarily men who contracted this, the conservative early 80’s governments turned a blind eye, or many people used this to feed their prejudice. So he contracted AIDS because this would have been hard for him not to. Excess was the game’s name, or he was rich, young, or famous, or he was only discovering who he was or what he wanted in life.

He made mistakes but served a sentence when he committed no crime. Only similar to the lyrics to one of his most famous songs says. The only thing this could beat Freddie Mercury was prejudice or the disease no one knew existed. I don’t think this was even avoidable had he not been as promiscuous as he was.

It was everywhere, or this was spreading like wildfire, or no one knew how to stop this or what this even was, so he had no chance. He was a fantastic artist, musician and human being; there will never be anyone like him again. He burned the candle at both ends or flew too close to the sun, or we all know this is doing this has consequences. Most of us don’t think it’s a big deal while it’s happening; only when we face, the repercussions do we finally understand this was wrong or as we age or Freddie didn’t get to the age this much.

He was doomed to the start. He refused to have the life of a rock star because he worked hard or felt similar to what he had earned. Had he been heterosexual, the way AIDS spread back then, he may still have gotten the disease; who knows?

All I know is that I’m sick to the death of the people blaming him; that’s the same as blaming someone for catching a disease no one knows. It’s the same as blaming someone’s lifestyle for getting cancer, as my brother does his past drug use, giving him leukemia, which is not even close to the truth. No one will ever tell me this was Freddie’s fault, all he did was live his life with no apologies, or he did things exactly how he wanted, or he earned this, or his work has changed the world quite literally, so I blame AIDS or homophobia for the killing Freddie not Freddie for the wanting to the have fun or live his life.
