Peter Freestone and Terry Giddings will return to Montreux from 20 to 23 May 2027. Four experiences offer the chance to spend time with these two close companions of Freddie Mercury, sharing memories, stories and conversations.

Peter, his personal assistant for twelve years, and Terry, his chauffeur and bodyguard, will talk about their years at Freddie’s side. Conversations throughout these gatherings will be in English, with opportunities to ask your questions.
