| freddie mercury exercises in free love: Freddie Mercury: A Kind of Magic Mark Blake, 2016-09-12 Freddie Mercury was rock’s most dazzling showman, a legendary entertainer who in 1991, at the age of just forty-five, became the first major music star to die of AIDS. Mercury’s soaring four-octave voice was a defining element in Queen’s unique sound, crucial to the success of the band’s fifteen studio albums, from Queen (1973) to Made in Heaven (1995). He was also a supremely talented songwriter and musician who wrote many of the band’s greatest hits, including ‘Killer Queen’, ‘We Are the Champions’ and their biggest triumph, the epic anthem ‘Bohemian Rhapsody’. As a solo artist he released two acclaimed albums: Mr. Bad Guy in 1985 and the operatic 'Barcelona' with Spanish soprano Montserrat Caballé in 1988. Mercury’s extraordinary charisma was perhaps best seen in his imperious live performances, in which he’d hold vast stadium crowds to rapturous attention. His outrageous theatrics, physicality and over-the-top costumes led one commentator to describe him as ‘a performer out to tease, shock, and ultimately charm his audience with various extravagant versions of himself’. He pushed the limits of camp in everything he did. His extreme behaviour, in a society in which being gay was only starting to be accepted, just added to Freddie Mercury’s allure. With expert understanding, Mark Blake traces Mercury’s life from his childhood in Zanzibar and India to his untimely death, and charts his astonishing achievements including in Queen’s world-conquering performance at Live Aid in 1985. In the year that marks what would have been his seventieth birthday, Freddie Mercury: A Life celebrates a remarkable life, lived to the fullest. Featuring revealing interviews with fellow musicians, producers and collaborators, and a detailed discography and timeline, this is a memorable tribute to a unique recording artist and an irreplaceable performer who rocked the world. |

Flick Dalgetty knows what she wants and how to get it, which is why she’s about to start her dream job in Washington. Until then, she needs somewhere to crash, and Tom O’Connell’s place is her sole option. He’s a repressed, antisocial ogre…but man can he kiss. For Tom, being around Flick is like being too close to the sun. Her untamed energy is overwhelming, and he’d spontaneously combust if he had to live with her long-term. Housemates with benefits—and an expiration date—suits him just fine. Then Flick gives Tom thirty coupons, each entitling him to one obligation-free activity, from bowling and bubble-bathing to morning delight, removing all the guesswork from being incompatible partners and shifting their fling into high gear. Now the problem is their arrangement is drawing to a close, and they might be falling in love—and there wasn’t a coupon for that. This book is approximately 90,000 words One-click with confidence.

| freddie mercury exercises in free love: The Dead Straight Guide to Queen Phil Chapman, 2017-10-01 Few bands embodied the pure excess of the Seventies like Queen. Theatrical, brilliant, even mercurial – there has never been another band like them, or a frontman like Freddie Mercury. Their performance at the 1985 Live Aid Concert is the stuff of legend and 'We Will Rock You' and 'We Are the Champions' have become anthems at sporting events around the world. With one of the most iconic videos ever, ‘Bohemian Rhapsody’ achieved even greater recognition through inclusion in the movie Wayne's World. Their 1981 Greatest Hits album has sold more than 25 million copies to date. Queen were one of the biggest Eighties stadium rock bands of the Eighties but the death of frontman, songwriter and producer Mercury at the start of the Nineties brought the band to a premature halt. This book tells the full story of the band and its members from pre-Queen to post Freddie. |

| freddie mercury exercises in free love: Love of My Life Lesley-Ann Jones, 2021-09-02 'EYEWITNESS GOLD' SUNDAY TIMES WHO - OR WHAT - WAS THE REAL LOVE OF FREDDIE MERCURY'S LIFE? THE SENSATIONAL NEW BIOGRPHAY OF QUEEN'S FRONTMAN Millions of Queen and screen fans who watched the Oscar-winning film Bohemian Rhapsody believe that Mary Austin, the woman he could never quite let go of, was the love of Freddie Mercury's life. But the truth is infinitely more complicated. Best-selling biographer and music writer Lesley-Ann Jones explores the charismatic frontman's romantic encounters, from his boarding school years in Panchgani, India to his tragic, final, bed-ridden days in his magnificent London mansion. She reveals why none of his love interests ever perfected the art of being Freddie's life partner. In Love of My Life, the author follows him through his obsessions with former shop girl Mary, German actress Barbara Valentin and Irish-born barber boyfriend Jim Hutton. She explores his adoration of globally fêted Spanish soprano Montserrat Caballé. She delves into his intimate friendship with Elton John, and probes his imperishable bonds with his fellow band members. She deconstructs his complicated relationship with the 'food of love' - his music - and examines closely his voracious appetite for - what some would call his fatal addiction to - sex. Which of these was the real love of Freddie Mercury's life? Was any of them? Drawing on personal interviews and first-hand encounters, this moving book brings to the fore a host of Freddie's lesser-known loves, weaving them in and out of the passions that consumed him. The result, a mesmerising portrait of a legendary rock star, is unputdownable. Love of My Life, published during the year of the 30th anniversary of his death and that would have seen his 75th birthday, is Lesley-Ann's personal and compassionate tribute to an artist she has revered for as long as she has written about music and musicians. |
| freddie mercury exercises in free love: Freddie Mercury: An Intimate Memoir by the Man who Knew Him Best Peter Freestone, 2010-01-07 An intimate memoir of the flamboyant Queen singer by the man who knew him best. Peter Freestone was Freddie Mercury’s Personal Assistant for the last 12 years of his life. He lived with Mercury in London, Munich and New York, and he was with him when he died. In this book, the most intimate account of Mercury’s life ever written, he reveals the truth behind the scandalous rumours, the outrageous lifestyle and Mercury’s relationships with men, women and the other members of Queen. From the famous names – including Elton John, Kenny Everett, Elizabeth Taylor and Rod Stewart – to the shadowy army of lovers, fixers and hangers-on, Peter Freestone saw them all play their part in the tragi-comedy that was Freddie Mercury’s life. Freestone lived with Mercury in Europe and America for over a decade. From the East 50s apartment in New York to Kensington Lodge, the house in London where Mercury died – not to mention innumerable international hotel rooms and apartments in between – Freestone was always on hand to serve and protect the man he had first met in the Biba department store in the early 1970s. Then Queen was a largely unknown band. Soon it would be the most glitzy of glam rock bands. Freestone saw the fame arrive and with it the generosity, the excess, and the celebrity friends who came and went. “I was chief cook and bottle washer, waiter, butler, valet, secretary, amanuensis, cleaner, baby-sitter… and agony aunt,” he writes. “I shopped for him both at supermarkets and art markets, I travelled the world with him, I was with him at the highs and came through the lows with him. I saw the creative juices flow and I also saw the frustration when life wasn’t going well. I acted as his bodyguard when needed and in the end, of course, I was one of his nurses.” Freestone’s bet-selling account of a talented and extravagant star’s life and death is compelling, entertaining and ultimately, very touching. Illustrated with many photos from personal and Freestone’s own archives. Press Reviews“An entertaining and thought provoking read” – PRS for Music Sales “This collection of Freddie’s own words is the closest thing there is to an autobiography of a man with no regrets. The foreword is written by his mother” – reFRESH magazine, Leading Gay mag in the UK |

| freddie mercury exercises in free love: Freddie Mercury Paolo Borgognone, 2020-11-05 Una vita passata all’insegna del cambiamento, della continua ricerca del nuovo, dell’inaspettato, del sorprendente. Dentro e fuori di sé. È il riassunto della breve e travolgente parabola esistenziale di Farrokh Bulsara, in arte Freddie Mercury. Dall’incontro nel 1970 con un paio di musicisti a caccia di gloria – il chitarrista Brian May e il batterista Roger Taylor – nascerà un gruppo destinato a scalare le classifiche e rivoluzionare il modo di fare, vedere e sentire la musica per sempre: i Queen. Dotato di una presenza scenica unica la mondo e di una voce altrettanto singolare e in grado di realizzare un’estensione inusuale, Freddie Mercury ha dominato i palcoscenici prima del Regno Unito e poi internazionali. La sua vita sul palco e fuori è stata spezzata dall’Aids, nel novembre del 1991. La musica di Mercury e del suo gruppo non è però scomparsa con lui e ancora oggi la figura del cantante dei Queen è riconosciuta come una delle più influenti dell’intero panorama musicale. |
| freddie mercury exercises in free love: Mercury Lesley-Ann Jones, 2012-07-03 Revealing and intimate, based on more than 100 interviews with key figures in his life, this is the definitive biography of Queen front man Freddie Mercury, one of pop music’s best-loved and most complex figures. A revealing, intimate look at the man who would be Queen. As lead vocalist for the iconic rock band Queen, Freddie Mercury’s unmatched skills as a songwriter and his flamboyant showmanship made him a superstar and Queen a household name. But despite his worldwide fame, few people ever really glimpsed the man behind the glittering façade. Now, more than twenty years after his death, those closest to Mercury are finally opening up about this pivotal figure in rock ’n’ roll. Based on more than a hundred interviews with key figures in his life, Mercury offers the definitive account of one man’s legendary life in the spotlight and behind the scenes. Rock journalist Lesley-Ann Jones gained unprecedented access to Mercury’s tribe, and she details Queen’s slow but steady rise to fame and Mercury’s descent into dangerous, pleasure-seeking excesses—this was, after all, a man who once declared, “Darling, I’m doing everything with everyone.” In her journey to understand Mercury, Jones traveled to London, Zanzibar, and India—talking with everyone from Mercury’s closest friends to the sound engineer at Band Aid (who was responsible for making Queen even louder than the other bands) to second cousins halfway around the world. In the process, an intimate and complicated portrait emerges. Meticulously researched, sympathetic yet not sensational, Mercury offers an unvarnished look at the extreme highs and lows of life in the fast lane. At the heart of this story is a man...and the music he loved. |

Including interviews from Freddie Mercury's closest friends in the last years of his life, along with personal photographs, Somebody to Love is an authoritative biography of the great man. Here are previously unknown and startling facts about the singer and his life, moving detail on his lifelong search for love and personal fulfilment, and of course his tragic contraction of a then killer disease in the mid-1980s.

The death of this vibrant and spectacularly talented rock star, shook the world of medicine as well as the world of music. Somebody to Love finally puts the record straight and pays detailed tribute to the man himself. |

| freddie mercury exercises in free love: Freddie Mercury Luca Garrò, 2016-10-24T00:00:00+02:00 Insieme a Mick Jagger, Robert Plant e Roger Daltrey, Freddie Mercury ha incarnato il prototipo dell’animale da palcoscenico totale, entrando in maniera indelebile nell’immaginario collettivo di almeno tre generazioni di appassionati di musica. Oltre all’innata propensione alla teatralità e alla vocalità unica, del suo personaggio eccessivo, ironico e volutamente provocatorio sono sempre state evidenziate caratteristiche che poco avevano a che fare con l’uomo e con l’artista, preferendo puntare sul gossip e su aspetti della sua vita piuttosto che sulla sua musica. Troppo di frequente, poi, si è dimenticato di sottolineare in lui il grande musicista: basterebbe un brano geniale e immortale come Bohemian Rhapsody a confutare l’idea che Mercury fosse solo un buon cantante e un performer stupefacente, ma la lista di hit da classifica e di perle disseminate in ogni album dei Queen parlano più di qualsiasi analisi. |

| freddie mercury exercises in free love: L'ultimo Freddie Mercury Roberto De Ponti, 2022-10-18 «Io non diventerò una rockstar. Diventerò una leggenda.» Così diceva Freddie Mercury prima di conoscere Brian May, Roger Taylor e John Deacon. E aveva ragione: oggi, a oltre trent'anni dalla sua morte, l'amore che i suoi fan hanno per lui è ancora vivo e sterminato. Ma ogni leggenda è accompagnata da verità e bugie, certezze e insinuazioni, notizie vere o presunte. E se questo è vero per il periodo in cui Freddie è rimasto sotto i riflettori come lead vocalist dei Queen, lo è ancora di più dal momento in cui per l'ultima volta è sceso dal palco dopo un concerto con gli altri tre. I 1.933 giorni trascorsi dall'esibizione di Knebworth Park all'ultimo saluto nella sua camera da letto a Garden Lodge sono i meno raccontati - di sicuro i meno noti - della storia di Mercury. Eppure, negli ultimi anni di vita Freddie ha composto alcune delle sue canzoni più belle, ha realizzato il sogno di interagire con una divina della lirica, ha interpretato con la sua superba voce brani indimenticabili malgrado la malattia stesse ormai per prenderselo. In questo libro Roberto De Ponti raccoglie le notizie frammentarie degli ultimi anni della vita di Freddie e le scarne informazioni rilasciate da chi davvero gli è stato vicino, setacciandole senza scadere nel morboso, scremando la sua storia da falsità e da illazioni. Per dimostrare, se mai ce ne fosse bisogno, che l'epigramma riservatogli dall'amico Brian May è la perfetta sintesi dell'essenza di Freddie: «Lover of life, singer of songs». Amante della vita, cantante di canzoni. Un libro essenziale per ogni fan di Freddie, che racconta il crepuscolo del cantante e l'alba del mito. |

| freddie mercury exercises in free love: Summary of Matt Richards & Mark Langthorne's Somebody to Love Everest Media,, 2022-06-21T22:59:00Z Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 The beginning of our story is in the Belgian Congo in 1908, when the country was attempting to rebuild itself following the brutal regime of King Leopold II. The Congo Free State was abolished and annexed as a colony of Belgium, becoming known as the Belgian Congo. #2 The hunter, unaware that he has caught HIV from the chimp he killed, makes his way back to Leopoldville, a bustling marketplace. He sells the carcasses, skins, and hides, and makes a few Belgian francs. #3 The hunter’s virus was relatively easy to spread in the densely populated Leopoldville, where the ratio of men to women was high and prostitution rife. The period from infection to death could be years before it compromised the immune system of its host. #4 The chain of infection that would develop from the virus was kept alive for a decade after the events of 1908. The disease would not explode as a major outbreak for several decades, and it would require the perfect alignment of circumstances for the virus to spread rapidly. |

| freddie mercury exercises in free love: Freddie Mercury Lesley-Ann Jonesová, 2019-01-01 Zdá se, že všichni víme, kdo to byl Freddie Mercury. Bohem nadaný zpěvák formace čtyř muzikantských individualit Queen. Muž, který skupině propůjčil její nejcharakterističtější ochrannou známku: svůj hlas. Interpret a autor nezapomenutelných skladeb – od Bohemian Rhapsody přes We Are The Champions až po Innuendo. Extravagantní jedinec, libující si v okázalosti hudební i módní. Původem ze Zanzibaru, kde se narodil rodičům perského původu. Homosexuál dlouho skrývající svou orientaci a první skutečně očividná oběť AIDS z uměleckých kruhů. A přece se nám bude zdát, že se o Freddiem Mercurym sotva můžeme dozvědět něco nového a neznámého, ovšem jen do chvíle, než se začteme do jeho rozsáhlé biografie od Lesley-Ann Jonesové. Jonesová se s Mercurym znala dlouhá léta, protože v 70. a 80. letech byla hudební publicistkou pro některé významné britské listy. Dá se říci, že byli přáteli. Proto jí po zpěvákově smrti nezůstaly zavřené přístupové cesty nejen ke zbylým členům skupiny, ale ani ke zpěvákovým příbuzným a přátelům. Jonesová vedla desítky rozhovorů s lidmi, kteří byli Mercurymu po třicet let nablízku – od Mary Austinové, kterou poznal roku 1969, šest let s ní žil a úzké kontakty s ní mu i v dalších letech umožňovaly maskovat svou převažující sexuální orientaci, až po posledního přítele Jima Huttona, který byl se zpěvákem i v jeho posledních chvílích. Třebaže manažer Queen se celou svou autoritou postavil proti prvnímu vydání její knihy, přemluvila Jonesová k rozhovoru o zesnulém kolegovi kytaristu Briana Maye. Se stejnou vehemencí, s jakou se pustila do pátrání po Mercuryho rodném listu, se snaží vypátrat tajené místo jeho posledního odpočinku. Z těchto střípků se postupně skládá rozporuplná osobnost muže, který dokázal být stejně krutý jako něžný, sebestředný stejně jako nesobecký, člověka, u něhož se střídaly psychické propady s obdobími bezbřehého štěstí, umělce arogantního na scéně, avšak citlivého a vnímavého mimo ni. Lidé, pro něž je imperativem heslo the show must go on z názvu stejnojmenné písně Queen, zřídka bývají jiní... |

Словно яркая комета он вспыхнул на небосклоне славы, и даже после ухода, шлейф его таланта продолжает зажигать сердца людей по всему миру.Журналист и писатель Марк Блейк собрал, как мозаику, биографию Фредди. От его детства в далеком Занзибаре до головокружительного выступления на Live Aid в 1985 году.

Show must go on.Книга содержит множество личных фотографий Фредди Меркьюри, ранее не публиковавшихся в других изданиях. |
| freddie mercury exercises in free love: Freddie Mercury. Una biografia intima Peter Freestone, David Evans, 2009-04-02T00:00:00+02:00 Questa è la storia di chi voleva vivere per sempre. Freddie Mercury scintillava per l'innato carisma, e non è stato dimenticato: oltre cento statue in tutto il mondo documentano la sua gloria. Ma questo libro racconta l'uomo, prima che l'artista, e lo fa con la voce intima di chi ha vissuto al suo fianco, giorno doppo giorno, per oltre dodici anni. Peter Freestone si è preso cura di Freddie ricoprendo i ruoli più disparati: per lui ha cucinato e ha lavato piatti, è stato maggiordomo, cameriere, valletto, segretario, amanuense, uomo delle pulizie, consulente. E baby-sitter. Lo ha visto all'opera quando la sua capacità creativa era straripante ed è stato testimone delle sue frustrazioni davanti alle avversità della vita. Gli ha fatto anche da guardia del corpo e alla fine, ovviamente, da infermiere. |

Peter Hince didn't have to imagine: for more than a decade, he lived a life that other people can only dream of as he worked with Queen as head of their road crew. In 1973, Queen was the support act for Mott the Hoople, for whom Peter was a roadie. Back then, Queen had to content themselves with being second on the bill and the world had not yet woken up to the flamboyant talent of Freddie Mercury. Peter started working full time for Queen just as they were making A Night at the Opera, the album which catapulted them to international stardom. In this intimate and affectionate book, Peter recalls the highlights of his years with the band. He was with Freddie when he composed 'Crazy Little Thing Called Love'; he was responsible for making sure that Freddie's stage performances went without a hitch - and was often there to witness his famed tantrums! He was also party to the sex, drugs and rock 'n' roll which are invariably part of life on the road with a rock band. |
