Freddie Mercury A to Z cover

Celebrate Freddie Mercury in the next iteration of Steve Wide’s Icons A to Z series. Follow Freddie, born Farrokh Bulsara, as he harnesses hyperdontia to develop an unparalleled vocal range. See Smile, Freddie’s first complete band, graduate to become the global phenomenon Queen. Dissect lyrical oddities like “radio gaga” and “Scaramouch,” and revel in the glorious chevron mustache Freddie grew in 1980…

Ripples of Freddie’s legacy are still felt in music recorded today. He was a juggernaut of technical and conceptual innovation who left the world far before his time. This illustrated book pays honors the impact Freddie left on pop culture and in all our hearts.

“Wide has (again) written a tantalising smorgasbord of details, facts and titbits, that inform the reader
about so much more than that which featured in the film, Bohemian Rhapsody.” -- Glen Christie * GlamAdelaide *
