Freddie Mercury - Lesley-Ann Jones

FREDDIE MERCURY was the greatest rock front man of all time. He was also the most mysterious. While his musical genius earned him the adoration of millions, few gained entry to his private world.

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 in the quest for truth.

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.

Lesley-Ann Jones is an award winning journalist and author. She toured with Queen and had unrivalled access to the band.
