Journalist and writer Mark Blake put together Freddie's biography like a mosaic. From his childhood in remote Zanzibar to his breathtaking performance at Live Aid in 1985. Here you will read how the Queen musicians first met and began to create, how the band's greatest hits were created, and how their world tours went. Drawing on memories and interviews, the author recreates the amazing life of Freddie Mercury, the legend he made himself into. His irrepressible energy helped him both in his first steps on stage and in his last, especially difficult days. But no matter what happened, the king always remained the king. Show must go on. The book contains many personal photographs of Freddie Mercury that have not previously been published in other publications.
