During an interview with Metro, Peter ‘Phoebe’ Freestone, who worked with Freddie Mercury for 12 years before his death, revealed an incident that sheds light on one of Michael Jackson‘s unusual habits. According to Freestone, the event took place in the early 1980s when Jackson took the Queen singer on a tour of his home on Hayvenhurst Ave in Los Angeles, California.
When Jackson brought Mercury into his bedroom, Freestone claims the We Will Rock You singer was alarmed by the King of Pop’s sleeping situation — he slept on a mattress in the middle of his room, Yahoo News reports.
“Freddie said, ‘You’ve got money why don’t you buy a bed?’ And Michael just said, ‘I feel so much better when I’m closer to the Earth.’ Freddie said, ‘Well how much closer does not having a bed make you? We’re upstairs.’”
