## Description

"Freddie Mercury: A Life, In His Own Words" is the nearest thing to Freddie’s 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’s 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’s most endearing and enduring performers. Freddie rarely talked about himself to others, and so the relatively few interviews he did agree to—carefully compiled for this book, and some of them unpublished until now—provide an intriguing insight into a man who outwardly exuded confidence and arrogance, but behind the public perception, spent periods alone and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 ‘royal family’ of close friends and invited guests. The book covers Freddie’s 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’s 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 “frivolous and preposterous” to win over an audience—“I love the feeling of it. It’s greater than sex!” 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. For a man who seldom spoke, in "A Life, In His Own Words", Freddie says it all: “There are times when I wake up and I think, “My God! I wish I wasn’t Freddie Mercury today.” In 20 chapters, 194 pages and nearly 73,000 words—and 45 years in the making—Freddie 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. “I love the fact that I make people happy, in any form. Even if it’s 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.”

Review: ABSOLUTELY FABULOUS! - I downloaded a sample of it from Kindle before buying and that was enough to know, it was wonderful. Not to be mistaken as authored by him, the description is a bit misleading at times. But it does seem to be in his own words and style, taken from interviews, but without the questions being asked. It feels like he is just earnestly talking right to you. Really authentic. Truly Freddy! And often funny, throwing in a few personal tidbits, here and there. Halfway through it and trying to slow down my pace, so I can savor the joy longer. I take it with me , I always have a book, but this time people see HIS picture on the front and apparently I am walking around with a natural conversation starter, EVERYWHERE! Always the same, someone sees my book and says “Oh!, I just love Freddy”. They don’t even ask if it’s good! It’s all about loving Freddy. My only complaint, I wish it was longer!! It’s good reading, with a nice pace to it and the authors did quite a good job of editing. They didn’t bleep out much of Freddy’s language, if any. Keeps it authentic. Just so you know, the man was a cusser, yet never sounded particularly vulgar, more like, he was just stating a fact. He has a good vocabulary and uses terms, probably from England, that make me laugh. Like he doesn’t use “aerosols“ (deodorant, I think?) because that is followed up with “my armpits are my own”. TMI, but that too, is Freddy. No boundaries, no filters. He is such a genuinely like-able fellow and this view of him only reinforces that. If you enjoy Freddy, this is an interesting perspective. He is really smart and interesting, talking about many things, touring, band member relationships, writing music, what it means or doesn’t mean to him, and sure, some of it we've either already seen or heard on occasion. But this feels very conversational. And it is easy reading. Going by way too fast!!! 10 stars!!!
Review: wonderful book but missing dates of interviews - I found this to be a lovely collection of Freddie's own words and thus free from an interviewer's interpretation. It reads like an autobiography and I think the authors are to be commended for organizing his comments to flow with each topic. His outlook changes over time, as do all of ours, but because there are no dates of the interviews used to compile each chapter, I wasn't able to understand his feelings within the context of what was happening in his life at the time. Freddie comes across as very intelligent, insightful, and happy with his accomplishments leaving me to think that he really did live the life he wanted. I sure hope so. He gave us all so much. Rest in peace, Freddie.
