Freddie Mercury: The Great Pretender
In a touching portrait, imagine... charts Queen front man Freddie Mercury's solo projects and interests, including a previously unheard collaboration with Michael Jackson.
Renowned as the bravura front man of one of Britain's greatest rock bands, Freddie Mercury's life outside Queen is rarely celebrated or explored.
In a touching portrait, imagine... charts Mercury's solo projects and interests, including a previously unheard collaboration with Michael Jackson and the triumphant Barcelona project with Dame Montserrat Caballe, as well as the life of a gay man who was not yet publicly out.
Rare interviews reveal a shy man in search of love, and a driven artist living behind the protection of his stage persona.
