Few people knew that Freddie Mercury kept a diary. When he died in 1991, he left behind seventeen handwritten notebooks chronicling his life and times, which he had begun to write in 1976 when Queen were at the height of their global fame. His final entry was made just weeks before his death. Only four of his nearest and dearest ever knew what became of those diaries. To one of them, Freddie secretly entrusted the collection just before he died. A mind-blowing listen, they constitute the closest thing to a Freddie Mercury autobiography that the world will ever know.

So, they want me to write a book? They want to know about my band, my life, my loves and my losses. But they have no idea what they’re asking for. If I give them what they want, they’ll get so much more than the sex and drugs and the rock and roll they’re expecting. They’ll get the secrets that I’ve kept for so long, they’ll get an insight into the person I really am, or at least was. They think they know my story, they know nothing. If I do this, if I write honestly and give them the ugly truth, people will get hurt.

Nachdem seine Mutter ihm zuvor ein paar Akkorde auf dem Banjo beigebracht hatte, gründete John Lennon zusammen mit ein paar Kumpels aus der Schule 1956 die Band "The Quarrymen". Wenige Jahre später benannten sie sich um in "The Silver Beatles" – der Rest ist Musikgeschichte. Die Beatles wurden zur erfolgreichsten Band aller Zeiten und John Lennon zur Legende. Er schuf mit "Help!" oder "Imagine" Songs, die jedes Kind kennt, und war das Gesicht der Friedensbewegung.

"We Are the Champions", "I Want to Break Free", "Bohemian Rhapsody", "We Will Rock You" oder "Another One Bites the Dust" - die großen Hits der Band Queen kennt jeder. Doch wie wurde aus dem 1946 in Sansibar geborenen Beamtensohn Farrokh Bulsara der schillernde Weltstar Freddie Mercury? Sein Privatleben hielt er stets weitestgehend aus der Öffentlichkeit heraus. Lesley-Ann Jones war als junge Rockjournalistin einige Jahre mit Queen auf Tour und ist seitdem eng mit der Band befreundet.

Who - or what - was the real love of Freddie Mercury's life? Millions of Queen and screen fans who watched the Oscar-winning film Bohemian Rhapsody believe that Mary Austin, the woman he could never quite let go of, was the love of Freddie Mercury's life. But the truth is infinitely more complicated. Best-selling biographer and music writer Lesley-Ann Jones explores the charismatic frontman's romantic encounters and reveals why none of his love interests ever perfected the art of being Freddie's life partner.

A story about a boy who dreamed of rock and roll. A story about a girl who dreamed about a boy. An epic, all-consuming love story about betrayal, loss and learning, that spans over 20 years. This is the story of us: "I was just 11 years old, but I knew without a shadow of a doubt I was staring into the eyes of the boy I was going to love forever." An edgy coming-of-age love story that breaks all the rules and transcends the decades.

His music thrilled the generation it was written for and has entertained and inspired every generation since. Hero: David Bowie is an exploration of the man behind the myths and the makeup told from the very beginning. Respected music journalist and biographer Lesley-Ann Jones knew David Jones from the days before fame, when he was a young musician starting out, frustrated by an industry that wouldn't give him a break and determined to succeed at whatever cost.

I've known him my entire life. Before marriage. Before fatherhood. Before betrayal. Now, he's one of rock's bad boys trying to be good. Trying to be the best father he can for his daughter. He's my brother's best friend. He's my boss. He has a wife. Max isn't mine to have, but I want him all the same. And I haven't survived all that I have to not go after what I want.

Since the night we met, he's been my constant. Carefully reconstructing the pieces of my broken heart and making it whole again. But we can't catch a break. As hard as we try to make it work, the blows keep coming. When I'm finally ready to hand him all of my bruised and battered pieces, he shatters the trust we've built, and I don't know if I have it in me to fight for what we have. Is it time to walk away and save myself? Or do I take a chance on loving Gabriel Wild?

After 24 years, I discovered there's more than one way to break your marriage vows. The life I thought would always be mine was over, and I'm now facing it as a single woman in her forties. I need to get my life back on track—a job, somewhere to live, and time to get to know this new version of me. What I don't need is to be saved by Gabe, the gorgeous, 35-year-old, blue-eyed god I met on a drunken girls' night out.
