Описание: A REVEALING, INTIMATE LOOK AT THE MAN WHO WOULD BE QUEEN
As lead vocalist for the iconic rock band Queen, Freddie Mercury's unmatched skills as a songwriter and his flamboyant showmanship made him a superstar and Queen a household name. But despite his worldwide fame, few people ever really glimpsed the man behind the glittering facade.
Now, more than twenty years after his death, those closest to Mercury are finally opening up about this pivotal figure in rock 'n' roll. Based on more than a hundred interviews with key figures in his life, "Mercury "offers the definitive account of one man's legendary life in the spotlight and behind the scenes. Rock journalist Lesley-Ann Jones gained unprecedented access to Mercury's tribe, and she details Queen's slow but steady rise to fame and Mercury's descent into dangerous, pleasure-seeking excesses-- this was, after all, a man who once declared, "Darling, I'm doing everything with everyone."
In her journey to understand Mercury, Jones traveled to London, Zanzibar, and India--talking with everyone from Mercury's closest friends to the sound engineer at Band Aid (who was responsible for making Queen even louder than the other bands) to second cousins halfway around the world. In the process, an intimate and complicated portrait emerges. Meticulously researched, sympathetic yet not sensational, "Mercury "offers an unvarnished look at the extreme highs and lows of life in the fast lane. At the heart of this story is a man . . . and the music he loved.

Описание: 2nd ed -- with an Addendum & now an Index -- 40% longer than 1st ed. "Baby boomers" dealing with death - especially death "definitely on the calendar" - feel free to choose from an array of "hymns" beyond "Amazing Grace," and have been tending to look especially to one music group - "Queen" - as a source of funeral songs. The focus of this book -- including theological overtones -- is on three aspects: (1) the apparently seven-year period, from mid 1984 to late 1991, when Freddie Mercury (1946-1991), the extraordinarily talented frontman of the versatile music group "Queen," actively dealt with dying while performing, (2) the thirteen-year period before that when Queen already handled the double theme of "facing death head-on" and of "affirming life while fully aware of death", plus (3) the effect of this very public dying and this persistent, quiet awareness of death both on Mercury's bandmates and on the group's "baby boomer" fans as they became faced with death. Most considerations of Queen and its musical catalogue have been by journalists, but Dr. Powell approaches these questions as an historian and clinician, analyzing fifty-some songs and mobilizing extensive amounts of data to support his conclusions. Endnotes suggest answers to several long-puzzling questions about Queen and the music group's work - for example, the probable Zarathustrian origin of Freddie Mercury's name, the probable role of irony and sarcasm in Queen's music, and the probable origins of the title to their first real hit, "The Seven Seas of Rhye". Addendum endnotes suggest answers to several other long-puzzling questions -- such as the probable actual impact of Queen's anti-suicide messages, the Zarathustrian aspects of "Who Wants to Live Forever?" plus the probable reason why "Mad the Swine" appeared 20 years after written.
