by Steve Wide (Author)
Freddie Mercury is one of rock's most legendary leaders. With his great charisma, his electrifying stage presence, his undeniable sex appeal and his extraordinary vocal prowess, Mercury was a singular talent as a rock star, as a fashion icon, as a songwriter, as well as a provocateur and partier. From his early days in Zanzibar and India, moving on to selling clothes in London with Mary Austin, to his years of success with Queen, his home life with Jim Hutton and a colony of cats, and his later forays into opera, this book traverses Freddie's extraordinary career from A to Z, all in a brilliantly illustrated format.
