Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

Freddie Mercury remembered by Peter Freestone, his personal assistant and close companion during Queen's rise, global fame, and Mercury's final years.Peter Freestone was Freddie Mercury's personal assistant for the last 12 years of his life. He lived with Mercury in London, Munich, and New York, and was by his side when he died.In this book, Freestone paints a striking portrait of the man behind the myth. The result is a compelling, entertaining, and ultimately, very touching memoir. From their first meeting at the Biba department store in the early 1970s - when Queen was still unknown - Freestone witnessed Mercury's rise and with it the generosity, the excess, and the celebrity friends who came and went. From the famous names - including Elton John, Kenny Everett, Elizabeth Taylor and Rod Stewart - to the shadowy army of lovers, fixers and hangers-on, Peter Freestone saw them all play their part in the tragi-comedy that was Freddie Mercury's life.First published in 2000, Freestone's best-selling account of his life alongside the singular icon is the closest fans will get to an autobiography of Mercury.
