US EditionFreddie Mercury’s ‘Secret Daughter’ Dies Aged 48
- On 15th Jan 2026, Thomas, Bibi's widower, confirmed she died aged 48 after a long battle with chordoma, and her ashes were scattered over the Alps.
- The book Love, Freddie, published last year by Lesley-Ann Jones, revealed a previously unknown daughter known as 'B' using seventeen handwritten notebooks and extensive research.
- Jones wrote that Bibi told her she had a close, loving relationship with Freddie Mercury during his final years, and Jones says her research included DNA verification treated as private.
- Following the confirmation, family members said they are weighing the release of photographs she kept private, while Mary Austin, Mercury's close friend and former fiancée, denied knowing of any child or diaries, and band associates reacted with scepticism.
- The book reports Bibi’s chordoma was diagnosed in childhood and her health worsened during four years Jones worked on the project; only Freddie Mercury's inner circle knew of her for almost five decades.
