“The concept of Queen is to be regal and majestic.
Glamour is part of us, and we want to be dandy” – FREDDIE MERCURY
Freddie Mercury, Brian May, Roger Taylor and John Deacon - A.K.A Queen. They were renowned for electrifying live performances, envied for rumors of their rock ‘n’ roll excess, and beloved for their music that has brought togther an array of genres.
Nearly 20 years after the death of their supremely talented front man and over 190 million album sales worldwide, Queen remains the classic larger than life rock band, enthroned among rock royalty.
Packed with glorious performance and off-stage photographs, dozens of which are previously unpublished, as well as tour memorabilia, collectables, LPs, and singles from around the globe, this is the ultimate visual tribute to Queen. More than 500 photos and artifacts in total are accompanied by a band history, album reviews, complete tour dates, a thorough discography and reflections from some of rock’s top performers past and present. These include Slash, Tommy Lee and Billy Squier.
Queen combined a dizzying array of influences and genres in creating what would become one of the most lasting legacies in rock. Here is the book that dares to tackle the band’s towering achievements.
Author, Phil Sutcliffe has been writing about music since he went freelance in 1974. His byline has appeared in many publications, including Sounds, Smash Hits, The Face, The Northern Echo, Q, Mojo, Blender, and the Los Angeles Times. He lives in London.
