Freddie Mercury: Sister recalls last two weeks of his life<\/h3>\n

Freddie Mercury and Elton John had a very close friendship and the Rocketman singer was one of a few who saw the late star in his final days battling AIDS.<\/p>\n

In his recent autobiography Me, Sir Elton described the devastation of seeing his dear friend dying.<\/p>\n

He spoke of visiting the Queen singer a lot during this period in 1991 but couldn’t stay much longer than an hour as \u201cit was too upsetting\u201d.<\/p>\n

Despite everything Freddie was going through, Sir Elton recalled how the Queen singer still had the strength to entertain his guests at Garden Lodge.<\/p>\n

He recalled him being too frail to leave his bed, losing his eyesight and how his body was covered in Kaposi\u2019s sarcoma lesions. Nevertheless, he was still very much Freddie \u201cgossiping away\u201d and being \u201ccompletely outrageous\u201d.<\/p>\n

Sir Elton remembered Freddie saying things like: \u201cHave you heard Mrs Bowie\u2019s new record, dear? What does she think she\u2019s doing?\u201d<\/p>\n

The Rocketman legend couldn\u2019t work out if the Queen singer knew he was so close to death or was just tenaciously getting on with what life he had left of his 45 years.<\/p>\n

Freddie also spent his final days purchasing sweet Christmas presents with notes to be delivered after he died, a surprise that left Sir Elton in tears.<\/p>\n

He was sent a painting by Henry Scott Tuke, one of his favourite artists, that arrived on Christmas Day while he was still grieving.<\/p>\n

The artwork had been wrapped in a pillowcase with a touching note referencing his and Freddie\u2019s affectionate drag nicknames for each other.<\/p>\n
