This is the definitive biography of Freddie Mercury, written by award-winning rock journalist Lesley-Ann Jones, who toured extensively with Queen and formed lasting friendships with the band. Having secured access to the remaining band members and those closest to Freddie from his childhood to his death, Lesley-Ann has written the most in-depth narrative of one of the most beloved and complex characters in music. With meticulous research, sympathetic and without exaggeration, the book focuses on the 1980s, when Queen began to fracture before their Live Aid performance brought them back to the stage. In her quest to understand the man behind the myth, Lesley-Ann Jones has traveled from London to Zanzibar and India.

Packed with exclusive interviews and told with the invaluable perspective that twenty years after Mercury’s death offers, Bohemian Rhapsody is the most informed depiction of a legendary figure.
