Freddie Mercury Bücher
5. September 1946 – 24. November 1991
Freddie Mercury war ein außergewöhnlicher Performer, der für seinen bemerkenswerten Stimmumfang und seine elektrisierende Bühnenpräsenz gefeiert wurde. Als Songwriter verfasste er zahlreiche dauerhafte Hymnen, die weltweit Anklang fanden und sein einzigartiges Talent für die Schaffung unvergesslicher Melodien und kraftvoller Texte unter Beweis stellten. Seine dynamische Kunstfertigkeit erstreckte sich über seine ikonische Band hinaus und beeinflusste Generationen mit seiner unverwechselbaren Stimme und charismatischen Energie. Er bleibt eine ikonische Figur in der Musikgeschichte, bekannt für seine bahnbrechenden Beiträge und seine unvergleichliche Bühnenpräsenz.
Despite being in the limelight for over 20 years and selling nearly 200 million records, Freddie Mercury was a very private person - avoiding interviews as he was painfully shy and uncomfortable in the company of anyone who might intrude upon his famous 'royal family' of close friends. This book takes us on the journey of Queen - three academics and a frustrated art student, tired of having no money, taking on the music industry on their own terms. Spurred on by an almost uncontrollable, ambitious and forthright Mercury, Queen succeeded, becoming the biggest band of the generations to come.The story, told in his own words shows how on many occasions, the band almost split, but was always kept together by their shared love of breaching musical boundaries. Freddie's own personal story is one of pursuing a dream, dealing with wealth and fame, looking back and having no regrets, coming to reflect on his thoughts on getting old, his legacy and death. Though Freddie talked rarely to others about himself, the interviews published - and some unpublished up until now, compiled in this book, together with an intriguing insight into the man who outwardly exuded confidence and arrogance but behind that public perception spent periods alone and searching for happiness. This title includes a foreword by Freddie's Mother Jer Bulsara.
