Reliable Sources?
There is a lot of Freddie content out there, and a lot of it is full of misinformation! Here is a list of trusted sources, which we will update if necessary
Books:
- Mercury and Me by Jim Hutton. A book by Freddie's partner of 7 years about their relationship and Freddie's final years.
- Any books written by Peter Freestone. Most popular is probably the one entitled 'Freddie Mercury (an intimate memoir by the man who knew him best)', but honestly I'd trust any source created by Peter.
- This Was The Real Life by David Evans and David Minns. Minns was Freddie's partner in the late 70s.
Documentaries (still adding on):
Ask Phoebe! (click title)
Peter 'Phoebe' Freestone was Freddie's personal assistant and close friend of many years, and along with writing books about him, he he is still actively discussing Freddie today as he wants people to know the real him. He also has his own website here.

FAQ:
What does Garden Lodge Twitter mean?
It started as a joke but now it's just the name for people who stan Freddie and those around him in Garden Lodge.
Can I join the Garden Lodge Chat?
The chat was made before this whole 'Garden Lodge Twitter' became a thing. It's a group of close friends, so we aren't just adding anyone who asks! Obviously feel free to make your own though!
