Correction to my comment;
You, Mary Austin Not Married to Freddie Mercury, or rather
( Farrokh Bulsara )
Mary was not a singer songwriter at all. She was an adminstrator for Freddie’s businesses. I have never heard anyone refer to her like that. This is simply not true. Please make the correction. Thank you from a true Queen fan.
