Hedonistic, lonely, outrageous Freddie, we miss you! This is a well written book detailing Freddies life in all its glory. He was a talented musical show all by himself but with the band of John Deacon, Brian May and Roger Taylor there was magic in the air. It tells the truth of how the band met and what happened next, it does not deny Freddies hedonistic lifestyle, but it does concentrate more on the more important facets of his life. Remi Malik did an outstanding job in the film of his life.
