Lesley-Ann Jones talks about her new book Love, Freddie: Freddie Mercury’s Secret Life and Love. Far from a conventional biography, the book is drawn from Freddie Mercury’s private notebooks and the perspective of his newly discovered daughter, revealing a side of the Queen frontman the world has never seen.

Lesley-Ann shares stories of Freddie’s childhood in Zanzibar and India, the trauma that shaped him, and his single-minded drive to succeed in music. She discusses the complexities of his relationship with Mary Austin, the hidden bond he had with his daughter, and how the flamboyant public persona of Freddie Mercury masked the spiritual, private man Freddie Bulsara.
