Close friends of legendary singer Freddie Mercury reveal several mysteries in a new documentary.

<a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/pop-culture/5-famous-lgbtq-music-artists-elton-john-freddie-mercury" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Freddie Mercury</a>'s final months and last words were recently revealed in a new UK documentary. Freddie Mercury: The Final Act focuses on the lead singer of Queen, who died in 1991 from complications from his <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/jean-paul-gaultier-safe-sex-forever-campaign-socks" target="_blank" rel="noopener">AIDS</a> diagnosis, and features close friends of the star.
Anita Dobson, the wife of Queen guitarist Brian May, said that during her last meeting with Mercury, he was already very thin and weak due to the disease. &ldquo;I remember he said, 'When I can't sing anymore, honey, then I'm going to die. I'm going to drop dead."

Peter Freestone and Joe Fanelli, great friends of the singer and who took care of him in his final moments, stated that the artist's weakness was so great that in his final moments he refused the medication prescribed by the doctors.
&ldquo;The only thing he was taking was painkillers, he was leaving slowly," said Freestone. "One day Joe called me at 5:30 a.m. and Freddie had fallen into a coma, we just tried to comfort him. We saw him move a little bit and while we were changing his shirt we saw that his chest had stopped moving."

The documentary production also features May recounting the moment Mercury revealed his diagnosis in 1987 to his bandmates. &ldquo;He asked us to sit down and said, 'Okay, you guys probably already know what's going on with me. You already know what I'm dealing with. I don't want to talk about it, I don't want anything to make me come out of who we are. I want to keep making music until after the moment I can't do it anymore.'"
