Freddie Mercury's partner Jim Hutton

Frank O'Meara
Frank O' meara was born in Carlow 30 March 1853, to Thomas and Sarah O'Meara (née Isbourne). The youngest of seven children, his father was a medical doctor, and his grandfather Dr Barry Edward O'Meara was Napoleon's physician on St. Helena. The family lived at 37 Dublin Street, Carlow, and O'Meara likely attended St. Mary's Knockbeg College. From 1869 to 1871 O'Meara lived in Dublin, when he may have continued his education or received private art lessons. An early sketchbook that survives from this time shows landscape studies from around County Carlow, as well as studies of churches and animals. Two of O'Meara's siblings died young, and his mother died in 1873. It is following this, that he moved to Paris, where his cousin Kathleen O'Meara was a writer and correspondent for The Tablet

Jim Hutton,
A "handsome and charismatic Irishman," worked as a hairdresser in London before meeting the music icon and becoming his lover. Jim Hutton met the Queen singer in a gay nightclub named Heaven in March 1985. The duo would go on to spend the remaining seven years of Mercury's life together. Hutton, one of ten children born to a family in Carlow, was working as an apprentice hairdresser in the Savoy Hotel when he met Mercury.
Their transition into a monogamous relationship was far from straightforward, as Mercury was at the height of his fame.
Hutton, who passed away on January 1, 2010, after a long battle with cancer, previously recalled: "I saw him with another guy in Heaven and we had a huge row. He told me he did it to make me jealous. Then one day I saw him leaving his Kensington flat with another guy and we had an argument. I told him he had to make his mind up. And he said, 'OK', he wanted to be with me. Deep down I think that he wanted to be secure with someone who was down to earth and not impressed by who he was."

Soon after their union, Hutton moved into the star's Georgian mansion, Garden Lodge, in south London where he was given a job as a gardener and handyman for a weekly wage of £600.
According to Hutton, Mercury was diagnosed with AIDS around Easter in 1987. Rumors had been circulating in the press for at least a year, as reporters speculated about Mercury's increasing gauntness.
Hutton himself did not get tested himself until 1990 and did not tell Mercury that he too had AIDS/HIV until he took a second test a year later. By late 1991, Mercury's illness was all-consuming. Three weeks before his death, he decided to come off his medication.
On November 24, Mercury passed away as a result of Bronchopneumonia as a complication of AIDS. 
On New Year's Day in 2010, Hutton died at the age of 60 from lung cancer, just three days shy of his 61st birthday.

Apologies for the audio, after driving nearly 2 hours to visit, the wind had picked up.

This was really nice to remember Jim Hutton. I did not even know he was buried in Ireland. I loved Freddie Mercury. May they both rest in peace.

[bjspranger]

I’m so glad they found and shared a deep love for each other.. even for a relatively short time, Freddie deserved a ‘nice guy’.

Thank you Jim Hutton for loving Freddie honestly and completely!! You gave him the love he so desired, which in turn, allowed Freddy to love, thru his music, the rest of the world!!
You were the Love of His Life!!

RIP to a couple of legends, wish they were both still with us. Can't turn on the radio for too long without hearing Freddie and that makes me happy. Another great episode, Sue!

[WhispersFromTheDark]

Thank you Mr. Hutton for loving our Freddie. Rest in peace you two, and know that you're not forgotten.

[freddiem]

What a beautiful and pleasantly peaceful, most if not all places are quiet and should be left untouched. Love you're uploads, thank you .

[marjorymcconnell]

What a beautiful cemetary. Gorgeous head stones. I have'nt seen anything like it in the US. Thank you for remembering Jim and braving the weather to bring it to us. Peace to all

Beautiful tour. So many sad stories of all the young people who died.

God Bless Dear Jim, for looking after Freddie. It must have been terrible, not only for his friends and fellow band mates of Queen, but for Jim, who had to see poor Fred so terribly I’ll, frail and weak, getting worse and worse by the day. This Terrible Disease, slowly destroying the Great Pretender, and wonderful showman he once was, reduced to a bedridden shadow of his former self. Jim was with him, to comfort and love him until his desperately ill and tormented body could take no more. I know that Freddie and Jim are in a better World now, in God’s eternal peace and love. United, where there is Heaven for Everyone. ❤️❤️

RIP Jim Hutton thanks again Sue beautiful cemetery the plots are huge God bless

Jim's book about his life with Freddie was a spectacular read. The part where he took care of Freddie during his declining years was a real tear-jerker. To love somebody that intensely and then lose them in a short amount of time must've felt like a sucker punch to the gut. Lots of highs and lows in the 7 years they were together, and I'm sure Jim was grateful for the experience. May his soul rest in peace.

My mum would have adored you, Sue!
She suffered several life threatening strokes, but still enjoyed wandering various cemeteries & churchyards when we went on our Saturday haunts around North Wales 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿.
So peaceful with some very poignant headstones.
Personally, I must thank you for the most interesting tours/visits to beautiful settings & the memorials within.
