Overview
QUEEN guitarist BRIAN MAY insists he had no idea bandmate FREDDIE MERCURY was gay, assuming the parading frontman was just flamboyant.
May met the late star in 1970 but claims it was not until the 1980s that he realised the frontman's sexuality - because Mercury began to bring men with "that particular Adonis look" backstage. He recalls, "When I shared a room with him on tour in the early days I can assure you it was girls who generally stayed overnight.
"But he seemed to be what these days you would call metrosexual. He was into his hair, his clothes - he definitely led the way with regard to preening."
