He had no intention of the photos being published, it was a private thing which was betrayed by his lover, BUT, IF you are a celebrity and if you want to try and maintain some semblance of PRIVACY, you probably shouldn't risk that sort of thing leaking to the press. I believe that Mike will want his book to excite us and will therefore willingly share some part of his private life, even if only the stuff that has already been leaked to the media, nothing new. |
A misunderstanding here I think. I wasn't trying to imply that his 'dressing up' antics were in any way reminiscent of Freddie Mercury: more that his increased confidence does not equate to him being a flamboyant showman in the Mercury mold. (Unless of course said pictures featured him in a leather mini-skirt with a moustache doing the hoovering or something )
As for private materials being published for public consumption that is unfortunate, but he's not alone in that regard and I guess that is one of the pitfalls of being famous. |
Speaking as a Queen fan of some 22 years, it was Messrs Deacon, May, and Taylor, who relished dressing in women's clothes more than Freddie Mercury for the I Want To Break Free video. Given FM's reputation in the press for being out and out gay, then it's not surprising that people get the impression dressing up was his idea.Up until his death Freddie had a long time friend, Mary Austin, I'm sure they were romantically linked at some stage. I'm sure I read it in an interview, underneath all that flamboyant exterior Freddie Mercury was quite shy, Freddie Mercury SHY . No never!!!
In so far as Mike's private life is concerned I have no interest , apart from that which has inspired him to make a recording . I did read a book "Hammer of The Gods" it's a biography on Led Zeppelin, all I found was it seemed to dish the dirt and make LZ out to be heinious fiends . At least this autobiography is Mike's own work, with the help of co author Jon Collins. Who knows Mike better than Mike himself.
