David Evans Knihy

Zpěvák slavné skupiny Queen Freddie Mercury za sebou nechal nesmazatelnou stopu, dodnes je vnímán jako jeden z nejlepších vokalistů populární hudby všech dob. Kniha ovšem nahlíží na jeho život i mimo pódium, přináší spoustu zajímavých informací a příběhů, a to v podání člověka, který s ním trávil prakticky každý den. Jde tedy o skutečně autentickou výpověď. "Byl jsem pro Freddieho kuchařem i myčkou lahví, číšníkem i komorníkem, sekretářkou i uklízečem... a psychologickým poradcem," píše Peter Freestone. "Scestoval jsem s ním celý svět, byl jsem s ním při jeho největších úspěších a provedl ho těžkými chvílemi... byl jsem i jeho bodyguardem, když to potřeboval a na konci jeho života jsem se přirozeně stal jedním z jeho ošetřovatelů." Peter Freestone pracoval jako zpěvákův osobní asistent v letech 1979 až 1991. Žil s Mercurym v Londýně, Mnichově a New Yorku. A byl s ním, když umíral. Tato kniha je nejdůvěrnější vzpomínkou na Mercuryho život, jaká kdy byla napsána. Pravda skrytá za spoustou skandálních pomluv. Peter Freestone byl svědkem, jak nejrůznější lidé - od známých osobností jako Elton John, Kenny Everett, Elizabeth Taylorová nebo Rod Stewart až po temnou armádu milenců, prostředníků a přisluhovačů - sehráli důležitou roli v pobuřující a zároveň fantastické tragikomedii, jakou bezesporu Freddieho život byl.
