Queen, the show must go on

A little less than thirty years ago , Freddie Mercury passed away. Fortunately, the band's music remained in the air of time. A We are the Champions shouted in stadiums around the world; a We Will Rock You behind a TV ad for mineral water.... And then came the explosion of the film Bohemian Rhapsody which made Queen rediscover a whole generation who knew the songs without really knowing the band. Nourished by very rich archives, this book lifts the veil on the gray areas little or poorly illuminated by the feature film, while keeping the positive and exhilarating spirit that made Queen one of the superstar groups of the seventies and eighties, and now of the emerging 21st century.
