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

Queen became the first band to bring the effect of theatricality into rock music, conquering the entire planet with its inimitable style—from their native England to faraway Japan. Queen is the only British band to receive a “Billboard” award in three categories at the same time—Disco, Rock, and R. Their legendary performance in 1985 at the Live Aid concert was recognized as the best “live” rock performance in the world.

This is a witty, candid account of one of the best bands in the world. Peter Hince will help you see it from a new angle. You’ll get as close to Queen as it’s possible to be without being a band member. Peek into the most secret corners of Freddie and the gang’s lives:
— How and under what circumstances was the famous “Crazy little thing called love” written?
— Why was Freddie called “Kermit the Frog”?
— Under what pseudonyms did the band members live in hotels?
— What wild things were left off-screen behind the most popular Queen clips?

We care about the quality of our books. The book “Unknown Queen. My Life with the Greatest Band of the 20th Century” is published with support from Queen’s largest fan community on VKontakte. The translation and editing were done by devoted fans of the band.
