But as the pages turn, we see a Freddie Mercury gradually changing the priorities in his life to one more sedate and necessarily changed by the cloud of the HIV/AIDS virus beginning to shadow the gay community.

Instead of a biography, in which the subject’s life is presented in a timeline and with a set of sources by a biographer, this book is put together to be Freddie Mercury’s own words. I think that taking quotes out of context garbled the meaning of what he was saying a lot of the times. If this review doesn't indicate how important Queen and Freddie are in my world then I don't know what will! L’unico difetto di questo libro è che non è strutturato, per ovvi motivi: Freddie è morto prima che si potesse fargli un’intervista in vista di una sua biografia ufficiale e quello che abbiamo qui è una raccolta di quello che ha detto nel corso di molti anni su diversi temi.Yo conservaba varios vinilos de mis padres, conocía poco sobre ellos ya que nací en 1990 ,pero no sabía el alcance del talento de este grupo;inconmensurables,inigualables, inimitables. Funny, irreverent, poignant and never boring, this is the closest we'll ever come to an autobiography. From the chapter titles, the opening quotes on each page of a new chapter to Freddie’s honest words written down in this book , I have found this an intriguing read. Queen е издаден след смъртта на Фреди и включва последните песни, които той записва, и във всяка една от тях се усеща силата на духа му, жаждата за живот и невероятният оптимизъм!

Il risultato è stato un libro che non vedevo l'ora che finisse, ma che ho comunque letto fino in fondo per rispetto del protagonista. I'm just a singer with a song" (o nome de um dos capítulos) é parte da letra da música "In my defense", não de "The great pretender", conforme indica o livro. I'll be honest here, I hadn't heard before that Freddie has an autobiography and the words his life in his own words picked my interest. I didn't find it easy reading: you "savour every moment" as it were, and I have taken my time to get through the book. I have no criticism for the words of Freddie Mercury himself, but the way this book was put together wasn't that cohesive and because it was taken from lots of different interviews, some parts of it were very repetitive.There were parts of this book that were clearly adapted from interviews of Freddie Mercury and you could almost tell that there was context missing, such as the question asked or perhaps something else he said that hadn’t been recorded.

Now, remember, this isn't like reading a biography on Freddie nor is it HIM telling us his life so far, talking about his illness etc. It was a good concept I thought, but in execution wasn’t the book I had hoped for as a Freddie Mercury fan. Es por esto que me decidí a leer en principio la biografía contada por él obviamente en su idioma y me he hecho con varios libros más. The truth was that Freddie was painfully shy and uncomfortable in the company of anyone who might intrude upon his famous ‘royal family’ of close friends and invited guests. Se la cosa vi può consolare, io penso che ci siamo tuttə fattə un’idea di lui che, se siamo fortunatə, è un frammento della sua personalità: è stato uno di quei personaggi che entrano nelle nostre categorie mentali e si divertono a mettervi scompiglio.Some songs I didn't know and had to watch it on YT and to see him on stage or just listening to his wonderful voice, ahh, made me so sad :( I don't think only fans of Queen or Freddie should read this. In addition to his work with Queen, he also led a solo career and was occasionally a producer and guest musician (piano or vocals) for other artists. Freddie Mercury of Queen performs on stage at Groenoordhal, Leiden, Netherlands, 20th September 1984. Prior to starting this book I told myself I would give it an honest star-rating that was not at all influenced by my Freddie Mercury-loving bias. Desde hace una semana es lo único que escucho en Spotify "Queen"me cuesta tener que dejar el libro por compromisos personales y solo me resta decir que grande eras Freddie Mercury, me he convertido en otra fan, nunca es tarde para descubrir grandes cosas que la vida te pueda deparar y me voy a hacer a ser posible con parte de su discografía.

He talked so much about how important Queen was to him on so many differing levels throughout his career. For a man who seldom spoke, in "A Life, In His Own Words", Freddie says it all: “There are times when I wake up and I think, “My God!Emotions are a major factor from the tragic words of his fear about AIDS to his inspiring love of the music he wrote. It is true that sometimes it seemed contradictory since quotes are all over the place, one is from his beginning and other is from years later and of course he changed his mind but the essence is still there.
