Queen

Most groups struggle for years in relative poverty until success beckons. Queen were different. 'Queen: The Early Years', reissued in paperback, is the result of extensive research by Mark Hodkinson, reveals how all four members of this stupendously successful group could have gone on to become successful in a myriad of other fields. ¿Guitarist Brian May and bassist John Deacon as physicists; drummer Roger Taylor, who came from a well-to-do family, as a dentist; and Freddie Mercury as a clothes designer. A valuable addition to the Queen bookshelf for all their fans.
