Freddie Mercury was the greatest rock frontman of all time.
He was also the most mysterious.
In this outstanding biography, former rock journalist Lesley-Ann Jones, who toured with Queen, mines mythology, rumour and gossip to reveal a shy and enchanting individual. From Freddie's birth in Zanzibar to his family's escape to London, Queen's phenomenal success and Mercury's tragic death from AIDS, no stone is left unturned. Based on unprecedented access to key figures, this riveting biography is an accurate account, not only of how the world saw Freddie, but of how the legend saw himself.
Compassionate and compelling, this is the most up-to-date portrait of one of music's most complex and best-loved figures.
