aka Freddie Mercury ... I have just finished reading the definitive biography of Freddie Mercury written by an award-winning rock journalist, Lesley-Ann Jones who toured widely with Queen forming lasting friendships with the band.

And I so wish I hadn't!

He was without a doubt one of the finest frontmen ever ... but OMG I was so sort of disgusted/sickened by Ms Jones account of his life.

Yeah sometimes people with great talent get into some really odd tangents in life. I learned a long time ago you probably just want to appreciate the talent without out knowing the back story.
