Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The music of Queen and powerhouse lead singer Freddie Mercury are best experienced with the volume turned all the way up. Alfonso Casas’s Freddie Mercury delivers a sonorous homage to the formidable singer and the turning points that produced a game-changing body of music that continues to inspire fans around the globe. First published in Spain and now available worldwide, this luminous work covers Freddie's three “births”: his birth as Farrokh Bulsara in Tanzania; his adoption of the last name of Mercury and the launch of Queen with Brian May and Roger Taylor; and the emergence of the lasting legend after Freddie’s death at the age of forty-five. Casas's evocative illustrations highlight the key moments in the singer’s transformation from child prodigy to superstar, bringing to life the bold innovator who broke free of his conventional upbringing. Chronicling events from Freddie’s marriage to Mary Austin and early fame in London’s 1970s glam scene, to the making of multiple megahits (including the six-minute chart-topper “Bohemian Rhapsody”), to his final years in a lasting relationship with Jim Hutton, Freddie Mercury is an exhilarating, poignant portrait of a creative genius who lived life to the hilt.

Book excerpt: Vingt-cinq ans après sa disparition, le sortilège jeté par Farrokh Bulsara alias Freddie Mercury sur des millions de fans n'a toujours pas été levé. La faute à un vibrato envoûtant, une technique de chant et des capacités vocales surnaturelles, une théâtralité excentrique, des tenues outrancières, un pied de micro scié en guise de baguette magique qui ont frappé à jamais les coeurs et les esprits. Si le grand nombre de tubes à la tête du groupe Queen - tels "Killer Queen" (1974), "We are the Champions" (1977) ainsi que l'épique "Bohemian Rhapsody" (1975) - ou dans le cadre de sa carrière solo - le lyrique "Barcelona" (1988) avec la soprano espagnole Montserrat Caballé -, a révélé un auteur-compositeur prodigieusement talentueux, son extraordinaire charisme l'a aussi classé comme "un show man fait pour provoquer, choquer et finalement charmer son public avec diverses versions extravagantes de lui-même". En cette année qui marque ce qui aurait été le soixante-dixième anniversaire de ce prestidigitateur du rock, Mark Blake retrace la vie du complexe Farrokh/Freddie depuis son enfance à Zanzibar et en Inde jusqu'à sa mort prématurée en 1991. Entre postures scéniques et impostures pudiques, extravagance et intimité, il passe en revue ses étonnantes prouesses avec comme point culminant une performance miraculeuse au Live Aid en 1985. L'hommage inédit à un interprète unique et un performer irremplaçable qui ensorcela le monde entier.
