BRIAN May has broken his silence on claims his Queen bandmate Freddie Mercury had a 'secret love child'.
A bombshell new book titled Love, Freddie by biographer Lesley-Ann Jones will be released later this year and tells how Freddie had a daughter in 1976 following a fling with a close friend's wife.
Now 77-year-old Brian's wife Anita Dobson has revealed his reaction to the shock news – and he doesn't believe it.
Recalling the moment she heard the claims, Anita, 76, said: "I went 'what?' I thought 'no'.
And I said to Brian, 'Do you know about this?' And he said, 'Do you believe this?'"
Speaking to the Mirror, Anita insisted that Freddie – who died in 1991 – was too famous for the news of a secret child to only be leaking now.
She continued: "There must be lots of people who have children that we don't know about.
"It's just because it's him. Because he's iconic.
"And the type of animal that he was, it seems inconceivable that he would have a child with someone we don't know about."
Before the iconic singer died of pneumonia caused by Aids in 1991, Freddie is said to have given his daughter 17 volumes of his personal journals.
She kept them a secret for years, but recently handed them over to the author to form the basis of the book that'll be released later this year.
The woman, who was born in 1976, says she always knew the legendary singer was her dad – despite being raised by a loving family.
She lives in Europe working as a medical professional with children of her own, making Freddie a post-humous granddad.
