Freddie Mercury long understood that his condition was terminal, a fact that he revealed to his family just a year before his death in 1990. Mercury's personal assistant, Peter Freestone, told Vice that Mercury did not like to talk about his diagnosis in his later years: "As far as Freddie saw it, he had the rest of his life to live." Mercury adopted this same policy for the last few weeks of his life, preferring to live without AZT, the drug that was treating his disease.
On November 10, 1991, Mercury made the decision to cease all medication barring pain pills. Freestone said that stopping medication was Mercury's way of maintaining control: "He never really talked about being afraid of dying … He never let the disease take control of his life. As soon as it looked as though that might happen, he took control again. He was going to decide when to die" (via "Mercury: An Intimate Biography"). Two weeks after stopping treatment, Mercury died.
