The Future of Garden Lodge

They should put a mosque there.

Ha ha. In the eighties there was a Taco Bell on Earls's Court Road (just around the corner), the only one I ever knew of in the UK.

Taco Bell is the best fast food chain in the Universe. Fred is probably eating Taco Bell right now, while fighting off the sexual advances of a drunken Jim Morrison.

I've never been to Graceland actually, but it would be great if Garden Lodge could become a place to visit and learn about Freddie Mercury and Queen.  A museum would be great!!!

I hope Garden Lodge will go to the daughter of Freddie's sister. I wonder why Mary cast out those who took care of Freddie with such love and devotion. In an inteview she related how diffcult it was to move into the house since Freddie's staff left her. I wonder if she kept in touch with Freddie's family...so many sad times...his loss let this world without a good and kind man and I know he would never have hurt his friends/caretakers they way they were hurt. I do not mean to disparage anybody, but it is very troublesome to me to know of his kindness being cast aside at his death.

Mary cast out Peter, Jim, and Joe from Garden Lodge because she's a cunt.

Freddie would have been pissed.

I suspect it was more Jim Beech's doing in serving notice to the staff at Garden Lodge, as he was Freddies executor, Mary may not have had anything to do with it at all

you cant always take the word of people who have left they are bound to be bitter and angry about it

Funnily enough, I was thinking the same thing about you.

btw Kiss SUCK!

Just bulldoze it ...  put up a block of flats or something.  No wait - a bowling alley.  Call it "Freddie's" - THAT would be fucking awesome.  The facade of the building could be a giant Freddie face, where the teeth are bowling pins.  

See if they can't sue Mary Austin while they're at it.  Not sure what for, but you don't really need a reason these days.  Let's get the old hag acquainted with all of the wonders of insolvency!

It would be amazing, but i kind of can't really see it turning into a museum.  Maybe it will and i'm just too cynical or something to imagine it, but i can't really see it happening.  Would be incredible though...

i really really really f**king cant understand the need to keep bringing this up.

freddie left the house to mary. therefore it's hers. it's not mecca, or bethlehem, or lourdes, or any other pilgrimage site....it's somewhere that a rock star USED to live...he doesn't anymore, mary lives there.....

i couldnt give a fuck what she does with it...her's to do as she pleases....
and if some of the commentators on here really respected freddie's wishes...you'd leave the woman in peace....

the morbid fascinations of some folk is beyond belief.....Garden lodge did not create this attention while freddie was alive....ffs - it's where he went to die.....let it go......this theme is almost as bad as the constantly cropping up "has anyone got any photos of freddie from 1991?"  

i really hope she bulldozes the lodge, then the "what will happen to it" talk stops once and for all

Has anyone got any photos of Freddie from 1991?

....from inside the Lodge.

Hehehehehe... you guys are a riot.

We all know Mary is evil - let's just leave it at that.

And I'm just (half) kidding.  :)
