Everything you didn’t know about Freddie Mercury and QUEEN

Mercury, though he was the most extravagant rock star, was unapproachable and reticent when it came to his innermost thoughts. With his razor-sharp tongue, Freddie never laid his soul bare. Freddie gave dozens of interviews during his life, and he always tried to avoid personal, candid topics. The interviewer usually got evasive and humorous answers to all the tough questions, which could hardly shed any light on the issues at hand. Even a minor insight into Freddie’s mysterious world could be considered a great journalistic success. But there were journalists who sometimes managed to get Freddie Mercury to talk frankly about his life. Maybe it was a talent for making people talk, maybe Freddie was in a good mood, I think it doesn’t really matter, and the main thing is the result, which was achieved by journalists. One of the most successful and productive journalists who were able to get Freddie to talk openly was Rick Skye. He subsequently published the book “Queen. All the Secrets of Freddie Mercury and the Legendary Band“. This video includes the most interesting moments from the book by Rick Skye, comments by Reinhold Mack, producer of the band, Peter Straker and Peter Jones, friends of Mercury, Barbara Valentine, Paul Prenter, manager of Mercury, Jackie Gana - organizer of the Queen fan club and many others.
