Description
Freddie Bulsara's arrival in England in 1964 marked the beginning of his journey to become a rock'n'roll star. However, before he could achieve his dream, he needed to meet three other individuals who would form the core of Queen. Brian May, Roger Taylor, and John Deacon were the missing pieces that would eventually come together to create one of the most iconic bands in rock history. The early 1970s saw Queen project an image that was both regal and mystical, with a singer and conceptualiser now known as Freddie Mercury at its centre. Behind the glamorous facade, the band members were four individuals with distinct personalities, who struggled to achieve success amidst financial hardship, critical hostility, and personal turmoil. This book provides an in-depth examination of Queen's first decade, from their formation to the early 1970s, when they forged a unique vision and overcame adversity to become champions of the music world.
