Short video of my thoughts about this past year and how I’ve been missing seeing all of You. FB : IG : Directed by : Milan Satnik - Video by : Mirek Lavicky Musicase Production - Video by : Mirek Lavicky / NinetytwoProduction - Peter Freestone bio Born in 1955 in Carshalton Surrey, he spent his first six years in South London. He started his education at Lushington Hall Boarding School in Southern India. After five years he returned to the UK to complete his education. He commenced work at the London department store Selfridges then moved on to the Ballet Running Wardrobe at the Royal Opera House, London. It was while he was here he met Freddie Mercury, the singer and front man of Queen, for whom he then worked for the next twelve years firstly taking care of touring costumes for Queen, then as Personal Assistant to Freddie until his death in November 1991. After a number of years he started at Guy’s Hospital on the neurological unit on Bright Ward, trying to use the skills he had learnt taking care of Freddie Mercury in his last years. From there he became the Administrator of the European Chamber Opera. After that he bought a small hotel in Torquay, Devon, which took up all his time for over three years. He discovered the city of Prague in the Czech Republic in November 2000 and moved there in April 2001 and where he now calls home. He has been involved in many Queen Fan activities all over the world also travelling with some Queen Cover shows. He reports on new productions of operas all over the Czech Republic for the monthly publication Opera. Currently he is mainly occupied mainly with three projects. The one closest to his heart is the TFA Project which aims at school students aged 13-18 making them aware of the ever present dangers of HIV/AIDS. He is involved in The Man Behind Freddie Mercury talk show where he fills in some details of the life of Freddie Mercury with the aid of photographs and with Queen music given in a new acoustic arrangement. He has also written lyrics for some songs created and sung by Milan Satnik and band, again giving some insight to the feelings and thoughts of Freddie Mercury. He became a citizen of the Czech Republic in August 2020. #FreddieMercury #Queen #PeterFreestone
