Freddie and Jim Love

Does anybody know the exact date or month Jim moved into Garden Lodge.I remember Freddie had called him up on the phone at his home in the middle of the night and his land lady evicted him.Jim was angry so Freddie told him to move in GL.Im just not sure when it was.

Just taking a guess here but i think it may have been Before "Live Aid" in 1985 ?

As far as I understand reading Mercury and Me, I think it was in October or November 1985. I may be wrong, but I got that impression.

Thankx guys I'm glad to here from you .I started this thread because I feel this gentle kind beautiful man doesnt get enough mention or credit when it comes to being the life partner of Freddie Mercury.He was There for for him when he could've walked away that to me says alot for his character and the love he had for him.He wasnt just the gardner that was just a job he did to earn his keep and he enjoyed it so much.Feel free to open any discussions or questions you might have about him.I think we can learn alot from eachother.

Let's go back to when this love story unfolded does anyone remember Freddie and Jim's first encounter in the bar and how Freddie approached Jim?

Yes i liked Jim a lot he was fun and the best hunky catch Freddie ever layed eyes on!
Mary seemed the jealous type and not good fun, and i know by reading books that she detested Freddie's gay friends
in fact a cat given to Freddie from Jim was re-homed straight away when she got rid of Jim and Freddie's staff at Garden Lodge.
She kept two of Freddie;s other cats i believe.
But back to Jim i really know he made Freddie so happy he even said in a David Wigg interview that he had found that "niche" he was looking for and he was very happy in his new relationship.

St16, I agree It was such a love at first sight if you believe in that kinda thing.Alot will want to argue that fact but any two human beings that find love is a beautiful thing.Freddie spent so many years searching for somebody to love him.I think apart of anybodys nature likes sleeping around and having a good time.At the end of the day it can leave you empty I wonder if this overwhelming feeling every came over him.As he saw his friends have lovers and happiness you know he yearned for this too just somebody to love.I think his cats filled that void in his life for a while too he loe them so much he was like a proud papa in all pics I have seen him in with them.

Typo loved them so much

Tell all Jim Hutton fans to come this way it is a safe place to discuss him without being criticized or fighting homophobia.

Many Queen fans on here seem to shy away from Freddie's love life because they cannot handle the fact that Freddie loved men.
I love Freddie for who he was and been gay gave him that extra magic in his music and performances.
Many of his songs were about the struggle to find love or breaking up with a lover like "It's A Hard Life" where you can hear him longing to be loved.
Freddie's best songs were from experience as well.

St16, I can so relate with that confusing struggle all my early preteen years from10 to 17.You are correct Folks are bonkers if they cant see the pain in his music.In the 70s his struggle was at its worst I think.It was a rough time for all gays in that era nothing like today.I understand there were few places for Freddie to escape and be himself if he didnt have his music he wouldve went mad.Biohemian Rhapsody he started working on before Queen .It kills me when I listen to it one part he says he wishes he hadn't been born at all.How terrible this is to feel this way.It was misery for him to have to lay with a woman which I know was the most unnatural feeling on earth for him.He had to break free.Thats another great song.

" I Want To Break Free" was written by John Deacon but i am sure it made Freddie think while he was singing it.
Kenny Everret fell out with Freddie when he found out that Freddie had bedded his fella Pepi.
They never spoke again after that.

Kenny Everett, didnt they share another dude nicoli.I know Kenny Everrets wife said she wouldnt trust her dog around nicoli lol.Him and Kenny had some good times together before things got crazy.He got bohemian played I thank him for that.Its sad He is gone as well.

Kenny's wife Cleo Roccas made up that story about Freddie dressing Princess Diana up and taking her to a gay bar,
bit far fetched i think ?
