Every year for the past 3 years I’ve done the Indigenous Marathon Foundation Virtual Run. It’s a great way to contribute to a wonderful project and score some extra lovely bling at the same time! This year I ran 10km on my birthday. Everyone should do it. You pay a few $$ then pick the distance and the place and do it! #imf #indigenousmarathonfoundation #virtualrun #running #deadlyrunning #runsweatinspire
#worldaidsday We must never forget the fight that was fought by brave souls for this epidemic to be taken seriously. We can never take for granted what has been achieved. We still need to fight the stigma. Today I commemorate those patients and people I have known who didn’t make it out alive #neverforgotten #Actup #ignoranceequalsfear #silenceequalsdeath #909090 #hiv #keithharing @theaidsmemorial
I still don’t know who gave me these flowers for my birthday but thank you!
Beautiful early birthday present from Gwyneth. Cookbook by women who fed Grenfell survivors. I’m making aubergine masala. #grenfellsurvivors #auberginemasala #hubbcommunitykitchen

#FreddieMercury (September 5, 1946 – November 24, 1991) died of AIDS, 27 years ago today, at his home in Kensington, London. He was 45 years old.
.
Freddie, originally #FarrokhBulsara and born in Zanzibar, rose to fame as the frontman for @officialqueenmusic. In a statement on the eve of his death, he called on his fans to join the fight against AIDS. In previous years, he lived a secluded life and did not respond to rumors that he had AIDS.
.
"I felt it correct to keep this information private to date in order to protect the privacy of those around me. However, the time has now come for my friends and fans around the world to know the truth, and I hope that everyone will join with me, my doctors and all those worldwide in the fight against this terrible disease."
.
In October 1986, the British press reported that Freddie had tested for HIV. A reporter questioned him about the story at Heathrow Airport as he was returning from Japan. Freddie denied he had a sexually transmitted disease.
.
According to his partner Jim Hutton, Freddie was diagnosed with AIDS shortly after Easter of 1987. Despite the denials, the press pursued the rumours over the years, fuelled by Freddie’s gaunt appearance, Queen's absence from touring and reports from former lovers to tabloid journals.
.
At the 1990 @brits Awards, a visibly frail Freddie made his final public appearance on stage when he joined the rest of Queen to collect the @brits Award for Outstanding Contribution to Music.
.
Towards the end of his life, Freddie was stalked by photographers. @thesun newspaper featured a series of articles claiming that he was ill.
.
Freddie was starting to lose his sight. He deteriorated to the point where he was bed ridden and decided to hasten his death by refusing to take his medication and continued taking only painkillers.
.
Jim Hutton, who also worked as a hairdresser for Freddie, although HIV positive, died on New Year's Day 2010 after a battle with cancer, just three days short of his 61st birthday.
