Freddie Mercury left his mark on history with his legendary voice, memorable stage moves, and incredible performances. But whatever his public persona, the iconic singer kept much of his personal life private. In this video, we'll tell you all the facts about the great performer that have come to light since his death, from his nights out with Princess Diana to the real reason his singing was so memorable. Freddie Mercury's body was cremated, but there was no public ceremony to scatter his ashes or even a statement about where the singer wanted his remains to be scattered. Only one person knew the singer's plans, and it's unlikely she'll ever reveal the secret. According to Rolling Stone, Mercury's ex-fiancée and longtime friend Mary Austin is the only person who knows where Mercury's ashes will be laid to rest. As she recounted in an interview, “One Sunday after dinner, he suddenly said, ‘I know exactly where I want to be buried. But no one can know because I don’t want anyone to dig me up. I just want to rest in peace.’” Austin thus kept Mercury’s ashes for two years until her comings and goings stopped attracting media attention. Then she told everyone she was going away to get a cosmetic procedure and secretly buried the singer’s remains. Since fans will always be fans, they continue to speculate about where exactly Mercury’s remains might be. Some think Austin took them to Zanzibar, although in that case, the phrase “I’m going to get a cosmetic procedure” was a strange way of trying to hide it. Others think the ashes are resting under a tree in the singer’s backyard. However, all these guesses are unlikely to ever be confirmed, because the only person who knows exactly where Mercury’s remains are will probably take this secret to the grave.
