After 30 years of interviews with Queen's gatekeepers, guitarist Brian May and drummer Roger Taylor, Mark Blake has written a new book called Magnifico!: The A to Z of Queen. Two decades after Freddie Mercury's death, the band is enjoying a "second coming" style revival, as seen in the phenomenal success of the movie Bohemian Rhapsody and the excitement over the brand new single "Face It Alone", featuring Freddie's vocals. In 132 stories, anecdotes, and observations, Mark addresses Freddie's early life to show why the story of Queen is really the Freddie story. With never-before-heard information, Magnifico! is a deep dive for the Queen aficionado and also breezily accessible for the reader who would like to dip into the many stand-alone stories.
