Peter Freestone was Freddie Mercury's personal assistant and closest confidante for the last twelve years of Mercury's life. Freestone lived with Mercury in London, Munich and New York and was by his side when he died. In this deeply personal book, Freestone paints a striking portrait of Mercury, revealing a sensitive, vulnerable soul hidden behind the world-conquering superstar persona.

From their first meeting at the Biba department store in the early 1970s when Queen were still relatively unknown, to global superstardom, Freestone saw it all. He witnessed the generosity, the excess, and the celebrity friends who came and went. From the famous names - including Elton John, Elizabeth Taylor and Rod Stewart - to the shadowy army of lovers, fixers and hangers-on, Freestone saw them all play their part in Mercury's life.

Freestone's best-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.

First published in 2000, Freestones best-selling account of his life alongside the singular icon is the closest fans will get to an autobiography of Mercury.
