A memorial plaque thought to be for Queen icon Freddie Mercury has gone missing from London's Kensal Green cemetery.
The plaque, which was only discovered last month, had Mercury's real name on it and the dates 5 Sept. 1946 - 24 Nov. 1991. However, it has already gone missing from the cemetery and adds to the mystery about Mercury's resting place.
A fan told the Daily Mirror, "It's just disappeared into complete thin air. No sooner had the mystery of Freddie's ashes seemingly been solved than this adds a whole new chapter. It's all very odd but just adds to the intrigue of where they ended up."
Mercury's ex-girlfriend Mary Austin is reportedly the only one who knows the location of Mercury's ashes, after the singer was cremated at Kensal Green - and it is thought that the plaque was from her.
The plaque had a French inscription meaning "Always to be close to you with all my love," and was signed M.
However, Austin has previously said that she will not reveal the location of Mercury's ashes, saying, "I made a promise on his death bed that I would never reveal where his ashes were. I do know where they are but that's all I have to say on it."
The whereabouts of Freddie Mercury's final resting place is still unknown
Mercury was cremated on 27 November, 1991 after his death from AIDS. The service was attended by just 35 close friends and family, including long time pal Elton John as well as his former Queen bandmates Brian May, Roger Taylor and John Deacon.
Workers at Kensal Green cemetery did not know that the plaque was in honour of Mercury, nor were they aware of how long it had been there.
