Hard as it might be for those of us who grew up listening to Queen to think of, Freddie Mercury would now be seventy years old. The man himself said he thought seventy would be boring, but in looking through Mark Blake's tribute, it's hard to imagine ever using the word boring to describe Freddie Mercury, whatever age he might be.
Author Mark Blake attended numerous Queen concerts as well doing several interviews with the founding members of Queen and that familiarity shows as he covers Freddie Mercury's life. The book is also full of some spectacular photography and liberally sprinkled with quotes from Mercury such as "Mercury isn't my real name, dear. I changed it from Pluto."
In addition to covering Freddie Mercury's life, the volume also contains a full discography of his work with and without Queen. Definitely a worthwhile read for any fan of Mercury or Queen.
