A new biography of Queen frontman Freddie Mercury claims that the singer had a secret daughter born as the result of an affair with the wife of a close friend. According to “Love, Freddie,” Mercury regularly visited his daughter, born in 1976 and known only as “B,” going so far as to give her 17 volumes of detailed personal journals that she kept secret. His daughter, who is now 48 years old and works as a medical professional in Europe, shared the contents of her father’s journals with Lesley-Ann Jones, the author of the biography, giving the world a unique look at the beloved performer’s inner life. In a letter from “B” that is included in the book, she wrote that Mercury “adored” and ”was devoted” to her and that the circumstances of her birth “never detracted from his commitment to love and look after me. He cherished me like a treasured possession.”
