This is the definitive biography of Freddie Mercury. Written by an award-winning
rock journalist, Lesley-Ann Jones toured widely with Queen forming lasting frie
ndships with the band. Now, having secured access to the remaining band members
and those who were closest to Freddie, from childhood to death, Lesley-Ann has w
ritten the most in depth account of one of music's best loved and most complex f
igures.
Meticulously researched, sympathetic, unsensational, the book - like
the forthcoming film - will focus on the period in the 1980s when Queen began to
fragment, before their Live Aid performance put them back in the frame. In her
journey to understand the man behind the legend, Lesley-Ann Jones has travelled
from London to Zanzibar to India. Packed with exclusive interviews and told with
the invaluable perspective that the twenty years since Mercury's death presents
, Freddie Mercury is the most up to date portrait of a legendary man.
Fully r
evised and updated edition.
