Freddie Mercury was one of the most charismatic, complex and fascinating characters in British rock music. The story of Queen is a well known one but this new film focuses on Freddie Mercury and the solo projects he worked on outside of Queen. It includes footage of Freddie and Rod Stewart singing their demo for 'Take Another Piece of My Heart', plus an unreleased song from 1984, a snippet of the Michael Jackson / Freddie Mercury Collaboration, and Freddie with the Royal Ballet 1979 - never seen in full before. It also includes footage of Queen's first TV appearance and Freddie's earliest filmed interview from 1976, footage from Freddie's 39th birthday party in 1985 with a cross-dressing theme, outtakes from many video shoots including 'I Want To Break Free', 'I Want It All', 'The Great Pretender', 'Who Wants to Live Forever' and much more. Using extensive archive footage of interviews with Freddie Mercury, concerts, video shoots and personal material, much of it previously unseen, along with new interviews with friends and colleagues, a portrait emerges of a man who was very different to his flamboyant onstage public persona. A generous, caring, thoughtful man with a self-deprecating sense of humour and a genuine passion for music. Freddie Mercury touched the lives of millions through his career both with Queen and as a solo performer and this new program will delight and inform his fans.
