His Life in His Own Words

Told through personal interviews, this biographical look at Freddie Mercury and his role in the rock band Queen tells the story of three academics and an art student who decided to go against the rigid rules of the music industry and create their own movement. Examining all aspects of the band—from its rough start, the many times that the members were about to break up, problems with the press, the stresses of being on tour, and internal disputes—the bittersweet and sometimes contradictory portrait that emerges from these conversations is that of a publicly flamboyant but fiercely private man who became a rock icon for the 1970s and beyond. Dicho a través de entrevistas personales, este estudio biográfico de Freddie Mercury y su papel en el grupo Queen cuenta la historia de tres académicos y un estudiante del arte que decidieron hacer frente a las reglas rígidas de la industria musical y crear su propio movimiento. Examinando todos los aspectos de la banda—desde los duros comienzos del grupo, las muchas ocasiones cuando estaban al punto de separarse, los problemas con la prensa, la presión de las giras y las disputas internas—el retrato agridulce y a veces contradictorio que emerge de estas conversaciones es el de un hombre públicamente extravagante pero intensamente privado que se convirtió en un icono rock de los 1970s y adelante.
