Farbenprächtig und autorisiert: Ein imposantes Buch über das Leben eines der größten Popstars Freddie Mercury liebte die Kameras, und die Kameras liebten ihn. Der große Auftritt in schrillen Kostümen, das war sein Ding, und seine Ansage "Ich werde kein Rockstar sein, sondern ein Legende" sein Programm. Dieser herrliche Bildband - das offizielle Buch - erzählt mit vielen seltenen, teils exklusiven Fotos das Leben eines der größten Popstars. Das erste Foto von Freddie zeigt ihn im Alter von sechs Monaten mit seiner Mutter Jer Bulsara auf der Insel Sansibar, wo er auch aufwuchs. Dort erhielt er als Jugendlicher an der St. Peter's School zahlreiche Auszeichnungen und war bereits sehr kreativ. Viele Inspirationen, etwa für das Queen-Emblem oder den Klassiker "Bicycle", sammelte er schon in seiner Schulzeit. Seine Porträts von Jimi Hendrix oder Rock Hudson sowie Skizzen aus seiner späteren Zeit am Londoner Buch wieder. Dazu handschriftliche Notizen für Songtexte. Das Zentrum des Bandes bilden zahlreiche farbenprächtige Fotos aus allen Schaffensphasen dieser schillernden Ikone der Popgeschichte, flankiert von ausführlichen Texten und vielen Zitaten Freddies. Als Heranwachsender auf Sansibar, als Frontmann von Queen und als Solokünstler: Dieses liebevoll gestaltete, großformatige Buch lässt die Erinnerung an Freddie Mercury wieder lebendig werden.
