After many fiery false starts, they became lasting lovers. From the moment they lived together, wherever Mercury went, Hutton went too. And whoever Mercury met, Hutton met as well–from Phil Collins to Elton John, David Bowie to the other members of Queen. They laughed together, fought together and, in Mercury’s final years, they often cried together.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFreddie Mercury was forty-five when he died from AIDS in Hutton’s arms.
