Freddie Mercury: “Garden Lodge” in London is for sale. Mercury bought the house in 1980 - he allegedly paid the then price of more than 500,000 pounds in cash.
He had the building renovated and furnished it with valuable works of art, including those by Pablo Picasso. In 1991, Mercury died in the house of pneumonia as a result of his AIDS illness. He left the villa and its furnishings to his former partner and close friend, Mary Austin.
