"Queen"

This book pays tribute to the band in words and pictures from Smile, an early, unknown rock band formed by Brian May and Roger Taylor, to the all-star tribute staged at Wembley Stadium to mark the death of the lead singer Freddie Mercury. The hit "Bohemian Rhapsody" shot them to superstardom and made video history by launching the rock video concept. Their career went from strength to strength drawing crowds to their concerts and attracting massive record sales. Their performance at "Live Aid" was critically acclaimed and a swansong for Freddie Mercury who came off the road for good in 1986. His death shocked the whole world and an all-star tribute attracted stars ranging from Elton John and Guns N' Roses to Def Leppard and Liza Minnelli.
