Queen remains one of the most outstanding rock bands of all time. With chart success spanning three decades and album sales topping 150 million worldwide, they continue to fascinate fans and music lovers alike.
Laura Jackson, bestselling author and acknowledged Queen expert, has carried out exclusive interviews with many of the band's close friends and several of the world's leading rock musicians. Laura turns the spotlight on to the private lives, professional struggles and personal triumphs of all four band members. From Freddie Mercury's reckless affairs and flamboyantly gay lifestyle to the intensely private bass player John Deacon, and from Brian May's fight with private demons to Roger Taylor's passion with living the rock dream.
