In October of 1985, Freddie decides to leave Munich for good đșđ„šđ©đȘ Freddie’s love for Munich started in the Spring of 1979, after Queenâs shows and lasted many years. The band recorded five studio albums in Munich and Freddie recorded his very first single âLove Killsâ with Italian producer Giorgio Moroder. He also recorded his debut solo album âMr. Bad Guyâ, which as Peter Freestone said, it took two years because of all the wonderful distractions from Freddieâs friends buzzing up the studio to go out. He was also working with Queen. Freddie didnât complain though, he loved his Munich life and friends. He also met his boyfriend, restaurant owner, Winnie Kirchberger there, they dated from 1983-1985.Freddie even threw his infamous 39th birthday bash at Old Mrs Hendersonâs. The party of a lifetime where the champagne đŸ never stopped flowing. There was a 5 Foot tower of glasses stacked and a champagne fountain. Peter also remarked, âI donât recall anyone being sober!â đFreddie really loved his freedom in Munich. He didnât have that in London. He did whatever, whenever he wanted. He went out often but found time to relax with Producer Reinhold Mack and his lovely family. Freddie had a very close relationship with the Mackâs and even baptised their youngest son, John Frederick âLittle Freddie,â yes, Freddie named him. He and John Deacon were his godparents. He enjoyed watching movies, drinking cocoa , playing table tennis and shopping. According to Mack, Freddie said, âThis is actually how a real family is.âMunich was a real paradise for Freddie but not for eternity. His friends remember, he was there partying with them one day and gone the next, as it seemed. The fascination ended and for various reasons, he moved back to his beloved London with his new partner, Jim Hutton. Peter has mentioned that between tax exile and waiting for his Garden Lodge renovations, he made Munich home for several years. âOne of the loves of Freddieâs life was his home, Garden Lodge, in London and he loved putting things in it, whether that was art or old-style furniture. He appreciated beauty.â Peter Freestone He was excited to began his next chapter in his new home as he moved into Garden Lodge in the summer of 1985. âI like Munich. Iâve spent a lot of time there. I was there so long, that after a while the people didnât even consider I was around. They didnât really pester me at all. I have a lot of friends over there and they know who I am, but they treat me as another human being, and theyâve accepted me that way. And to me thatâs a very good way of relaxing. I donât want to shut myself up and Hide! Thatâs not what I want. Iâd go spare. Iâd go madâŠeven quicker! I like to feel that I can do exactly the same things as other people do, like socialising and having parties.âFreddie Mercury â„ïžđč
