À propos de cet audio

For the first time, the final years of one of the world's most captivating rock showmen are laid bare.

When Freddie Mercury died in 1991, aged just 45, the world was rocked by the vibrant and flamboyant star's tragic secret that he had been battling AIDS. That Mercury had even been diagnosed came as a shock to his millions of fans, with his announcement coming less than 24 hours before his death.

In Somebody to Love, biographers Mark Langthorne and Matt Richards skilfully weave Freddie Mercury's incredible pursuit of musical greatness with Queen, his upbringing and his endless search for love with the story of a terrible disease that swept across the world in the 1980s, as medical treatment fought to catch up with it despite underfunding, social ignorance and homophobia.

With brand-new perspectives from Mercury's closest friends and fellow musicians, this unique and deeply moving tribute casts a very different light on both his death and the origins of AIDS itself.

An intimate listen, like Freddie and his art, it will stay with you for a long time.

I was fascinated by the historical background information on the development and spread of HIV/AIDS juxtaposed with the life and times of Freddie Mercury. You know at some point the storylines must intersect.

Two storylines: Mercury and HIV/AIDS.

I enjoyed listening to this story. It was difficult to hear about all of the debauchery, because you know of the outcome and want it to be different. I've watched many videos since BR, I couldn't get enough. I had to know how, when & why things happened in his life and of the band. It makes me wonder how he'd feel knowing how much everyone loves him now, maybe even some of the critics! They were harsh! You're legacy and music will live on forever ❤️

Fascinating

I think what I was intrigued by most in this biography was the parallel paths the author drew between Freddie Mercury's life and the AIDS epidemic. Just as one cannot think of Freddie without thinking of Queen, one cannot quite separate the man from the disease that took him. And yet, the author did not make the whole Freddie Mercury story about how he died. This is very much a biography that celebrates life.

A must for Freddie Fans!

A great history of QUEEN, but even more so of the AIDS pandemic.it is certainly sad and gut wrenching at times, but that gives the book and the life it celebrates more depth

Fabulous

This book reads like a blow by blow story of a dying man. I found it disgusting and a poor memorial to a fantastic entertainer. I am requesting my credit back. A far better read is "Freddy and me"

Morbid Garbage
