Description

A Life, In His Own Words brings together Freddie Mercury’s quotations and interviews, some unpublished when the book was prepared. Greg Brooks and Simon Lupton organised this material into a portrait built from the artist’s own voice, rather than an autobiography he wrote himself.

About this product

The two compilers, longstanding Queen archivists, reveal the contrast between the singer’s public confidence and a reserved personality attached to his circle of friends. Ambition, creativity, fame, wealth, happiness and changing personal priorities run through his words.

The book also examines tensions and unity within Queen, the desire to cross musical boundaries, and Freddie Mercury’s thoughts on ageing, legacy and death against the emergence of HIV/AIDS.
