\n “Freddie Mercury: A Life, In His Own Words” is the nearest thing to Freddie\u2019s autobiography as it is possible to achieve. A moving, witty, often irreverent collection of quotes (or interview transcript) from the man himself, covering an extraordinary life, meticulously edited together by Queen\u2019s long time archivists, with a Foreword by Freddie’s mum. An essential read not just for fans of Queen and their iconic frontman, but anyone intrigued to know more about one of music\u2019s most endearing and enduring performers.<\/p>\n

Freddie rarely talked about himself to others, and so the relatively few interviews he did agree to\u2014carefully compiled for this book, and some of them unpublished until now\u2014provide an intriguing insight into a man who outwardly exuded confidence and arrogance, but behind the public perception, spent periods alone and searching for happiness. The truth was that Freddie was painfully shy and uncomfortable in the company of anyone who might intrude upon his famous \u2018royal family\u2019 of close friends and invited guests. The book covers Freddie\u2019s origins and history, many and various subjects in between, and of course covers the fascinating journey of Queen, all from his unique perspective. Spurred on by their almost uncontrollable ambitious and forthright front man, Queen succeeded in becoming one of the biggest bands on the planet. The story describes how on many occasions the group almost broke up, but was always kept together by their shared love of breaching musical boundaries. Freddie\u2019s own personal story is one of pursuing a dream, dealing with wealth and fame, looking back and having no regrets, reflecting on getting old, his legacy, and death. A man determined to succeed to the point of willing to be \u201cfrivolous and preposterous\u201d to win over an audience\u2014\u201cI love the feeling of it. It\u2019s greater than sex!\u201d But as the pages turn, we see a Freddie Mercury gradually changing the priorities in his life to one more sedate and necessarily changed by the cloud of the HIV\/AIDS virus beginning to shadow the gay community.<\/p>\n

For a man who seldom spoke, in “A Life, In His Own Words”, Freddie says it all: \u201cThere are times when I wake up and I think, \u201cMy God! I wish I wasn\u2019t Freddie Mercury today.\u201d In 20 chapters, 194 pages and nearly 73,000 words\u2014and 45 years in the making\u2014Freddie covers it all, and then some! And he does it, of course, in his own inimitable, unpredictable, invariably funny, often poignant, and always entertaining way. \u201cI love the fact that I make people happy, in any form. Even if it\u2019s just half an hour of their lives, if I can make them feel lucky or make them feel good, or bring a smile to a sour face, that to me is worthwhile.\u201d <\/p>\n
