The network has photos that clearly will please a large army of fans of the legendary vocalist of the cult rock band Queen, who died of complications of AIDS in 1991. Vintag managed to obtain unique images of British singer Freddie Mercury and Jim Hatton, who had been his lover for many years.
Unconventional orientation and candid photos
Now the statement that you are gay, few people will surprise. Foreign stars easily admit to their bisexuality, homosexuality and other zamorochki, because it has become very fashionable.
Quite different was the case in the 80s of the last century, which was the peak of the career of the greatest rock singer Freddie Mercury. In life, the singer, who had a great sexual appetite, did not dare openly admit that he likes men more than women.
The last known partner of Mercury is stylist-hairdresser Jim Hutton, vintage photos with which one of these days became public property. They clearly demonstrate the true feelings that lovers have experienced for each other.
Atypical Love Story
Freddy, who at that time was already widely known, met Jim in a nightclub in 1984. Singer was not immediately able to conquer an impregnable barber, who, as it turned out, stubbornly did not recognize in the persevering lover of a popular musician. The couple began to live together only two years after their acquaintance, and before that just intersected in gay clubs.
After several years of idyll at Mercury, who began to lose weight and felt unwell, they found AIDS. Afraid to infect a partner and realizing that they will not live happily ever after (there was not yet HIV therapy successfully suppressing the reproduction and spread of the virus in the body), Freddie offered no tears to Jim. Hatton, however, adamantly stated that he would be with him in grief, and in joy and was next to him until his death.
