Freddie Mercury: A Kind of Magic

The story of the life and success of a rock star who shook the world

This is a book about who Freddie Mercury was and who he became.

From an unknown Zanzibarian, Farooq Bulsara, to a star performing in a stadium for 150,000 people. From the keyboardist of the band "Zdykhlyki" to the legendary keyboardist and vocalist of Queen. From a boy ashamed of his teeth to a majestic musician in a crown and mantle. On the record of his life there was both a bright side (genius, artistry, success) and a dark side (addictions).

Freddie was always lively and brilliant. I believed that anything is possible if you put your mind and heart into it.

Published on the eve of Freddie's 70th birthday, this book includes a retrospective of his studio and live albums, a complete discography, photographs and memorabilia.
