Somebody to Love: The Life, Death and Legacy of Freddie Mercury by Matt Richards, Mark Langthorne

Over 2,200 5-Star Reviews!

A powerful biography of Freddie Mercury’s final years—set against the rise of the AIDS crisis—and the enduring legacy of a rock icon.

Drawing from rare interviews with Freddie Mercury’s closest confidants and never-before-seen photographs, Somebody to Love reveals the private struggles and triumphs of one of music’s most electrifying performers. As the HIV/AIDS epidemic exploded across the globe, Mercury’s story became inextricably tied to a misunderstood and devastating disease—one that would take his life at age 45.

This deeply human portrait uncovers startling truths about Mercury’s lifelong search for love and belonging, his fearless performances, and his private battle with illness. Interwoven with the broader history of the HIV epidemic—from its brutal stigma to its misunderstood origins—the book is both intimate biography and sweeping cultural chronicle.

Fiery, emotional, and unflinching, Somebody to Love is a tribute to a legend and the era that shaped—and was shaped by—him.
