Book description
This is the definitive biography of Freddie Mercury. Written by an
award-winning rock journalist, Lesley-Ann Jones toured widely with Queen
forming lasting friendships 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 written the most in depth account of
one of music's best loved and most complex figures. 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. Lesley-Ann Jones
is a journalist, newspaper columnist and broadcaster. The author of
eight published books, she has enjoyed more than twenty-five years in
music and the media. She lives in South-East London with her young
children, the eldest having grown up and gone into the music business.
