Now this is just all sorts of low and gross. Freddie Mercury's burial plaque has gone missing from the west London cemetery where it was discovered last month. The plaque is believed to have been placed at the site where the late Queen legend's ashes were scattered by ex-girlfriend Mary Austin.
A fan told the Daily Mirror newspaper: 'It's just disappeared into complete thin air. No sooner had the mystery of Freddie's ashes seemingly been solved than this adds a whole new chapter. It's all very odd but just adds to the intrigue of where they ended up.'
The whereabouts of Freddie's remains, who died from complications caused by AIDS in 1991 aged 45, had remained a mystery until last month when a plaque reading 'In Loving Memory of Farrokh Bulsara' - the Zanzibar-born star's real name - and signed 'M' was uncovered at the west London cemetery. The message continues: '5 Sept. 1946 - 24 Nov. 1991. Pour Etre Toujours Pres De Toi Avec Tout Mon Amour.' which translates to: 'Always to be close to you with all my love.'
Mary has vowed to never reveal the ashes' location after the singer was cremated at Kensal Green saying 'I made a promise on his death bed that I would never reveal where his ashes were. I do know where they are but that's all I have to say on it.' The conspiracy theorist in us suspects that Mary have decided to take it back before others pinch it, which is the only outcome we could be happy with.
