New York, NY (Top40 Charts) Freddie Mercury: A Life, In His Own Words, is a book compiled and edited by official
Queen archivist Greg Brooks and

The additional material has been drawn from sources not available or known to the authors at the time of compiling the original work, much of it never before published before and sourced from newly discovered interviews given by Mercury for magazine and newspaper articles that were ultimately not used, as well as from rare radio programmes or
Queen Specials found on precious old cassette recordings and reel-to-reel tapes discovered within the Freddie archive.
