He lived with Mercury in London, Munich, and New York, and was by his side when he died.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn this book, Freestone paints a striking portrait of the man behind the myth. The result is a compelling, entertaining, and ultimately, very touching memoir. From their first meeting at the Biba department store in the early 1970s - when Queen was still unknown - Freestone witnessed Mercury's rise and with it the generosity, the excess, and the celebrity friends who came and went. From the famous names - including Elton John, Kenny Everett, Elizabeth Taylor and Rod Stewart - to the shadowy army of lovers, fixers and hangers-on, Peter Freestone saw them all play their part in the tragi-comedy that was Freddie Mercury's life.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eFirst published in 2000, Freestone's best-selling account of his life alongside the singular icon is the closest fans will get to an autobiography of Mercury.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/flcorrectionsbookstore.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=AUTH-18072904\"\u003ePeter Freestone\u003c\/a\u003e,\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/flcorrectionsbookstore.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=AUTH-4165251\"\u003eDavid Evans\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Omnibus Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/14\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 272\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.60lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.80h x 5.10w x 0.90d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781917274135\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1917274130\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBISAC Categories:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/flcorrectionsbookstore.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-BIO\"\u003eBiography \u0026amp; Autobiography\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/flcorrectionsbookstore.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-BIO004000\"\u003eMusic\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/flcorrectionsbookstore.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-MUS\"\u003eMusic\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/flcorrectionsbookstore.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-MUS035000\"\u003eGenres \u0026amp; Styles | Rock\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/flcorrectionsbookstore.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-SOC\"\u003eSocial Science\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/flcorrectionsbookstore.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-SOC064000\"\u003eLGBTQ+ Studies | General\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Omnibus Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54229318533417,"sku":"9781917274135","price":22.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0855\/5747\/7673\/files\/9781917274135.jpg?v=1790355358","url":"https:\/\/www.njcorrectionsbookstore.com\/products\/freddie-mercury-by-the-man-who-knew-him-best-9781917274135","provider":"New Jersey Corrections Book Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
