About the Author

Jim Hutton was working as a hairdresser when he first met Freddie Mercury in a bar in 1983. Their relationship evolved over several months in 1984 and 1985. Hutton worked as a barber at the Savoy Hotel and retained his job and his lodgings in Sutton, Surrey, for two years after moving in with Mercury, and then worked as a gardener. From 1985 until Mercury's death in 1991 he was closer to him than anyone and knew all of Mercury's closest friends. Hutton died in 2010 at the age of 61.
