When Freddie Mercury died on November 24, 1991, a Zoroastrian priest held his funeral at a crematorium in west London three days later. The family of the 45-year-old Quinn and 35 of his close friends including Elton John were present. His ex-girlfriend Mary Austin gave his ashes and secretly buried them in a place she would never reveal.
It was rumored over the years that Freddy’s personal belongings were also burned according to Zoroastrianism. However, his sister Kashmira Bulsara has since opposed it.
She is 70 years old and is the younger sister of the singer, who was born six years later in 1952 in Zanzibar.
Other members of the Bulsara family are still alive, but the only surviving person with whom he lived his childhood is she.
She bequeathed 25 percent of his fortune, along with his parents in his will, but most of his estate is with Mary in accordance with his wishes.
Curator Georgina Tomlinson said: “The Postal Museum is delighted to be able to display this rare piece from Freddie Mercury’s childhood which we are displaying to celebrate 50 years of Pride in the UK. The album is a surprising insight into the early life of a man who is remembered around the world for his incredible musical prowess. and theatrical presence.
Freddie Mercury’s childhood stamp collection will be on display at the museum from 13 July until 30 October 2022, as part of the 50th anniversary of the UK Pride movement.
