Описание книги

For the first time, the final years of one of the world's most captivating rock showman are laid bare. Including interviews from Freddie Mercury's closest friends in the last years of his life, along with personal photographs, Somebody to Love is an authoritative biography of the great man.
Here are previously unknown and startling facts about the singer and his life, moving detail on his lifelong search for love and personal fulfilment, and of course his tragic contraction of a then killer disease in the mid-1980s.
Woven throughout Freddie's life is the shocking story of how the HIV virus came to hold the world in its grip, was cruelly labelled 'The Gay Plague' and the unwitting few who indirectly infected thousands of men, women and children – Freddie Mercury himself being one of the most famous.
The death of this vibrant and spectacularly talented rock star, shook the world of medicine as well as the world of music. Somebody to Love finally puts the record straight and pays detailed tribute to the man himself.

SOMEBODY TO LOVE

FREDDIE MERCURY

.....

During his early terms at the school, Farrokh was terribly shy, being especially self-conscious about his prominent upper teeth caused by four extra teeth at the back of his mouth that gave him a pronounced overbite. His fellow pupils gave him the nickname ‘Bucky’. However, soon he was to adopt another name when the teachers began calling him ‘Freddie’ as an affectionate term. He seized on this name instantly and from that moment on Farrokh Bulsara became Freddie Bulsara.

Despite being so far away from his parents, Freddie soon got over his homesickness and immersed himself in school activities, particularly sport. ‘The school had a very strong emphasis on sport and I ended up doing every single one of them. I did boxing, cricket and table tennis, which I was really good at,’ Mercury would later recall.15 He was also reasonably good at sprinting and hockey, sports of which his mother approved far more than boxing. ‘Freddie was excellent at all sports, but when I heard about the boxing, I wrote to him from Zanzibar, where we were living, and told him to stop that. I didn’t like the idea, it was too violent,’ she remembered.16
