Freddie Mercury to be honoured by west London neighbours
London, November 21 (ANI): Late ‘Queen’ member Freddie Mercury will soon be honoured by the people of Feltham in west London, where he spent a part of his early life.
The residents will pay respect to the iconic singer with a commemorative pavement star.
Mercury was born Farrukh Bulsara in Zanzibar, 1946, to parents originally from Mumbai.
However, they had later moved to West London, when Freddie was 16 years old.
“We were in Feltham for quite some time. Freddie used to come and visit us. So it’s nice that he is remembered by the people there,” the BBC News quoted the singer’s mother, Jer Bulsara as saying.
She also revealed that he had written many songs in his London home.
She said: “He used to write some of the songs down and tuck them under the pillow before going to college.
“I used to tell him, ‘Don’t you put rubbish underneath or I’ll throw it away!’. He used to say ‘Don’t throw it away, Mum, it’s very important.” (ANI)
