Love of My Life - Lesley Ann Jones - Bog - Hodder & Stoughton - Plusbog.dk

If you are one of the many millions who watched the Oscar-winning film Bohemian Rhapsody you may suppose that Mary Austin was the love of Freddie Mercury''s life, the woman who he could never quite let go of. The truth is more complicated. Respected biographer and music journalist, Lesley-Ann Jones explores Freddie''s romantic encounters - from his boarding school years in Panchgani, India to his final days spent bed-ridden at his sumptuous Kensington home. Here the author reveals why not a single one of his lovers ever really perfected the art of being his life partner. Love of My Life charts Freddie''s many obsessions from Mary Austin, Barbara Valentin and final live-in lover Jim Hutton. From a string of male love interests to his chaste passion for Spanish soprano Montserrat Caballé; from fellow rock stars Dave Clark, Elton John and his own co-band members in Queen, to ''cats and curios'': his fascination for felines and his relentless extravagant shopping and collecting; from favourite cities around the world - New York, Montreux and Munich, in which he purchased lavish homes - to the ''food of love'' - his music, and his voracious addiction to sex. Which of these was the real love of Freddie Mercury''s life?Based on personal interviews and encounters the author tells of Freddie Mercury''s lesser known loves in order to paint a comprehensive picture of the legendary musician. Published on the 30th anniversary of his death , and what would have been Freddie Mercury''s 75th year.

Just Different - Wayne Sleep - Bog - Hodder & Stoughton - Plusbog.dk

Just Different - Wayne Sleep - Bog - Hodder & Stoughton - Plusbog.dk

In his intimate memoir, legendary ballet dancer and entertainer Wayne Sleep looks back on the extraordinary times he''s lived through. Wayne Sleep has danced with ballet legends Rudolf Nureyev and Margot Fonteyn, partied with Freddie Mercury and performed with Princess Diana, becoming her close friend. Behind the glitz and glamour, Wayne has always felt like an outsider. Sleep reveals the difficulties for a working-class, gay man in handling the prejudices of his generation and living through the Aids epidemic. Wayne was also the shortest principal dancer in the Royal Ballet - he had to spin twice as fast and jump twice as high to succeed. In this moving - but also laugh-out-loud and gossip filled - memoir, Wayne Sleep shows how he danced his way to success, fulfilment and love, and how he overcame obstacles and prejudice along the way.

I Don't Take Requests - Tony Marnoch - Bog - Hodder & Stoughton - Plusbog.dk

I Don't Take Requests - Tony Marnoch - Bog - Hodder & Stoughton - Plusbog.dk

THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTELLER AND WINNER OF THE ATTITUDE BOOK AWARD ''I love this man so much. He was, and always will be, my knight in shining Westwood.'' DAVINA MCCALL ''This is a story that should never have been told'' KATE MOSS ''The perfect beach read'' THE SUNDAY TIMES ''If you want to change your life but can''t.. I strongly advise you read this book'' TRACEY EMIN As one of club culture''s most notorious - and best loved - figures, Tony is a complete force of nature. Here he tells the most extraordinary stories of depravity and hedonism, of week-long benders and extreme self-destruction - and of recovery, redemption, friendship and the joy of a good tune.___________________________________________________________________________''Anyone can get a party started, but no one keeps it going like Fat Tony, the energy never dips andwhat a life he''s lived.. He''s a tosser but we still love him.'' ELTON JOHN & DAVID FURNISH ___________________________________________________________________________DJ Fat Tony has been described as ''the closest thing that club culture has to a national treasure'' and the ''unlikely cult hero of quarantine''. Few people have crammed so many lives into one: when your first line of cocaine is aged 16 with Freddie Mercury, where do you go from there? I Don''t Take Requests is Fat Tony''s breathtakingly candid and outrageous memoir of a life of extremes. From his childhood on an estate in Battersea where he honed his petty criminality, was abused by an older man and made friends with Boy George, to his teenage years spent parading the Kings Road in his latest (stolen) clobber, working as a receptionist for a prostitute, hanging out with Leigh Bowery and Sue Tilley and creating his drag persona, to his life as DJ to the stars and his spiral into serious drug addiction. Now, he is 16 years sober and, alongside working to help others overcome addiction, DJing for everyone from Elton John to Louis Vuitton - and running one of lockdown''s most popular Instagram accounts with its wickedly funny memes. It is all here in horrifying, glorious, heart-breaking detail.___________________________________________________________________________''There is nobody in London, let alone the world who has lived a more extraordinary life... his journey from villain to real life hero is one of the most beautiful examples of humanity I have ever witnessed. I wouldn''t be without this c*nt.'' KELLY OSBOURNE ''Hearing Tony''s story is brutal and shocking. He is nothing short of a miracle and his willingness to be of service to others seeking sobriety is testament to how far he has come from the days of pulling his own teeth out.'' MARC JACOBS
