Farrokh Bulsara was the star’s real name. He changed it in 1971. Fans suspect “M” could be his ex-lover Mary Austin, who inherited his home, Garden Lodge.Freddie’s ashes are believed to have been given to her after his cremation, but she has never revealed what became of them. A spokesman for Freddie’s estate declined to comment.
According to the Kensal Green Cemetery website, bronze plaques “can be provided for those whose cremated remains have been strewn in the Scattering Garden”. One Queen fan said: “Everyone knows Freddie was cremated at Kensal Green Cemetery in 1991 but it has remained a complete mystery as to where his ashes were finally laid to rest.u00a0
According to some biographies, his ashes weren’t even collected from Kensal Green for well over a year following his cremation. The discovery of this plaque is really exciting and may prove to be a major breakthrough.”
