Unknown Queen: My Life with the Greatest Rock Band of the 20th Century

Queen was the first band to bring theatricality into rock music, conquering the entire planet with its unique style—from their native England to faraway Japan.

Queen is the only British band to receive a “Billboard” award in all three categories at once—Disco, Rock, and R&B. Their legendary performance at Live Aid in 1985 is recognized as the best among “live” rock acts.

In front of you is a witty, candid account of one of the best bands in the world. Peter Hince will help you see them from a new angle. You’ll get as close to Queen as it’s possible to get without being a band member.

Take a peek into the most secret corners of Freddie’s and the band’s life:

—How and under what circumstances was the famous “Crazy little thing called love” written?

—Why was Freddie called “Kermit the frog”?

—Under what aliases did band members live in hotels?

—What crazy stuff was left out of the most popular Queen music videos?
