Somebody to Love: The Life, Death and Legacy of Freddie Mercury by Matt Richards & Mark Langthorne (Pt. 2)

Elton Reads A Book A Week

Freddie Mercury led a life so big he couldn't fit into one episode (and it STILL not enough)! In this second half: cocaine dwarves, smoking vaginas, The Sex Pistols, Bohemian Rhapsody, David Bowie, possibly the Queen of England, and more.
Join Elton's continued ride through "Somebody to Love: The Life, Death, and Legacy of Freddie Mercury", a book that's long on information and short on needless filler. Sit back, relax, drive, or work (like Elton does) and listen to discover more about a man that grabbed life by the balls and...well, (ahem) enjoyed it in far more ways than one. From Queen's big break to Bohemian Rhapsody, to well lots of stuff, you'll have to listen and find out! So, do that.

Oh, and f*cking f*ck you, AIDS.

Thank you for listening.
(And a special thanks to Diedrich Bader)
