Synopsis:: Show moreShow less
The sad and premature death of Freddie Mercury in 1991 took from the world probably the finest performer of all-time. He must certainly be ranked alongside Valentino, Monroe and Sinatra - and only Michael Jackson ever came close within the confines of pop and rock. But Freddie was so much more than just a superb front-man, magnetic stage presence and outstanding vocalist. A songwriter of considerable genius, a highly regarded musician, a musical arranger of enormous imagination and clearly defined flair and - crucially- one of the most loved personalities to ever grace a stage. This film is a tribute to a great man, 20 years after the tragic circumstances of his passing.
Featuring contributions from his closest friend and colleagues plus fellow musicians and the finest critics, writer and broadcasters, the film also includes much archive footage, interviews and news reports from the man himself and with the group who so expertly co-created the Queen experience - once witnessed, never forgotten. Still as popular today as he was in his glory years, Freddie Mercury was a once-in-a-generation personality whose life, albeit short, was one which touched those of millions of others across the globe.
