Customer Reviews
Not Wholly Accurate. Tends to repeat tabloid nonsense.
An interesting take on the life of Queen as a rock band, rather than of Freddie Mercury's life.
Disappointing that many of the untrue tabloid tales appeared in here. Poorly researched in places with some parts giving accounts of events in conflict with the accounts of people who lived with Freddie.
Too many myths and not enough hard facts.
