A Certain Band Called Queen
In 1971, four university students got together to form a band. Forty years later, that certain band called Queen have released 26 albums and sold over 300 million records worldwide. With their records still telling their hotcakes, the popularity of Freddie Mercury, Brian May, Roger Taylor and John Deacon here tell their story for the first time. Guiding us through an extensive archive full of unseen footage, they reveal how four strong minded individuals, all capable of writing massive hit songs, worked together so successfully for decades. Their story is a remarkable one, a narrative that covers early struggles, huge obstacles, success, arguments, breakups, triumph, tragedy and an enduring legacy – all against a backdrop of brilliant music and stunning live performances from every corner of the globe. Queen never did anything by half –their highs were massive, but their lows catastrophic. It is a compelling story told with intelligence, wit, plenty of humour and painful honesty.
