Somebody to Love: The Life, Death and Legacy of Freddie Mercury by Matt Richards & Mark Langthorne (Pt. 1)

Freddie Mercury considered one of the greatest frontmen of all was the living embodiment of excess. He lived his life moving at the speed of light, but the world, a disease, and fate would bring it to a tragic end. Join Elton as he tries to lighten the mood using one of rock & roll history's greatest and unfortunate son's lives.   From Freddie's birth to Queen's birth, part 1 of the wild life of Freddie Mercury, come for the insanity; stay for the tragedy! Plus, an uncomfortable amount of dick jokes. What more could you ask for? Less? Maybe less..that might be reasonable. Thank you for listening.
