Freddie Mercury’s family manages to gather some of Freddie Mercury’s goods almost 35 years after the death of the legend artist, but only because he secretly bought them, at a tender, from his ex-girlfriend, according to the Daily Mail Online.
Freddie’s sister, Kashmira Bulsara, spent 3 million pounds to ensure that her brother’s personal belongings are kept for future generations of the Bulsara family, after they were auctioned by the woman who exercised close control over the artist’s property.
Mary was the one who asked Jim Hutton, the man with whom the singer shared her life from 1985 to her death, to release the Georgian mansion of 30 million pounds of Freddie in Kensington, just a few months after the Star Testament was read.
The decision of Freddie’s sister and his nephew, Jamal Zook, to bid for the pop star’s goods, not anonymous, in order not to alert Mary about their intentions, suggests a glacial relationship between the woman Freddie called “my wife” and the star’s family.
“Kashmira was upset and upset to see that so many goods of her beloved brother became available to be bought by anyone,” said a source, for The Sun, this week, regarding the auction of Freddie Mercury’s goods.
