A Life in Songs - Freddie Mercury, Mary Austin

A Life in Songs

With an incomparable voice and an electrifying stage presence, Freddie Mercury was an exceptional musician and lyricist – the true creative force behind Queen. Also known as The Great Pretender, he reinvented himself without limits, from "Killer Queen" to an absolute champion of world music. When he died in 1991, he left his confidante and life partner, Mary Austin, not only his immense fortune but also a unique creative legacy: original documents spanning his career from his earliest compositions to his little-known solo career.

From this extraordinary legacy, and with the collaboration of those who knew him intimately, this book is born, including alternative versions of "Bohemian Rhapsody," sketches of "Don’t Stop Me Now," personal photographs, and previously unreleased songs.
