Description: Freddie Mercury Book Bundle The Show Must Go On - The Life Of Freddie Mercury - Rick Sky - Paperback - 1992 'I always knew I was a star. Now the rest of the world seems to agree with me.' Freddie Mercury Twenty years after his death, Freddie Mercury remains one of the world's most enigmatic figures. He was celebrated as an international icon during his life, his death sent shockwaves around the world and his effect on British music, culture and society is palpable today. But how did the sweet, shy boy from a small island off the Tanzanian coast become the lightning force behind Britain's most phenomenal rock band? Freddie Mercury: The Show Must Go On is an absorbing and intriguing account of Freddie's life, from the first days to the last. Former showbiz reporter Rick Sky was there at the time: he knew Freddie for 15 years, interviewing him on numerous occasions around the world from London to Munich to New York, sharing his thoughts and feelings as he changed from a young man into a star. Few others can claim such access or such insight into Freddie's mind. First published in 1992, this book was the first biography of Freddie released after his death. Now revised and updated, with beautiful photography of the flamboyant star and a fascinating look at the impact his death had on his friends, his family and society at large, this celebration of his life is brought back to the world. Freddie's story is one of a life lived to extremes, without limits; of hedonism, contradictions and heartbreaking internal struggles; of an individual who was -- and still is -- profoundly unknowable. The Definitive Biography Of Freddie Mercury - Bohemian Rhapsody - Lesley-Ann Jones - Paperback - 2018 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 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. Pre-Owned, Good Condition. Name written on first page of The Show Must Go On as shown. Photos form part of description. Please see photos for condition.
