Freddie Mercury: The Definitive Biography (UK)
Freddie Mercury: The Definitive Biography (UK) | Lesley-Ann Jones
Meticulously researched, sympathetic and unsensational, this book focuses on the period in the 1980s when Queen began to fragment, before their Live Aid performance put them back in the frame.

An interesting biography of a fascinating character. It introduced me to quite a bit of Queen‘s music that I wasn‘t familiar with. It made me see the lyrics of some of the songs I did know in a different way.

Mercury had such incredible talent, how could anyone accuse Queen of hype?!

My Audible Library is loaded and ready for Thanksgiving Prep. Today it's Groceries and Tablescaping. Yes I like to set the table early. One less thing to do later in the week. It's my favorite part of Holidays. Mainly though, I just love looking at my pretty fall dishes. 🔊🛒🍁🍽🍸

Haven't watched Bohemian Rhapsody, probably because my subconscious mind has been telling me to finish this book first since it's been buried in my Kindle even before the movie was made... So here I am!

Freddie is the Great Life this week on the BBC Radio 4 programme with Matt Lucas as his champion and Lesley-Ann Jones as the expert. I enjoyed the programme so much I went out and bought her biography of Fred, despite my long-standing fears about Freddie biogs and my extreme reaction to the current film biopic. Cross your fingers for me!

After seeing the amazing Bohemian Rhapsody movie I wanted to know more about Freddie Mercury. This book gives a good overview but has left me feeling there is a lot more to know about this rock legend.

RaimeyGallant Nice review! And welcome to Litsy! #LitsyWelcomeWagon Some of us put together Litsy tips to help new Littens navigate the site. It's the link in my bio on my page in case you need it. Or if you prefer how-to videos, @chelleo put some together at the link in her bio. @LitsyWelcomeWagon 5y

Just saw #BohemianRhapsody. Loved it! Long Live #QUEEN

Mariposa_Bookworm OMG!!!! I loved it! We were singing and rocking out in the theater!!! Bohemian Rhapsody is my FAVORITE song of all time. 5y
PacingTheCage @Mariposa_Bookworm It really is an awesome song. Top Ten everywhere IMO but they made so much good music, mighty music. This band was for all ages and I've loved them all my life. 5y

@Cinfhen @Marchpane
Biography of possibly rocks greatest performer and showman. Queen and Bowie shared a friendship with Bowie going back to 1972 when he was Ziggy and they were a struggling rock band. They collaborated on a number of songs but Under Pressure is the only one to be released to date.
👇

TrishB Original was called Feels Like and written by Queens drummer Roger Taylor ( who also played on Gary Numan's Dance album), rewritten by band members with lyrics mostly by Bowie. .......Numan bit added by me 😀 Very trimmed down summary and pic from Amazon as I forget to take one in a rush this morning. 7y
