One thing that occurred to me listening to his story of a pickup shot in London for One Vision, was that he'd written three chapters on that video AND LEFT THAT BIT OUT!
Either the rest of it is mindblowing stuff or he needs to have a chat with his editor...

The more i watch his Backstage channel, the more he triggers me. XD
How can someone that made music videos be so bad at editing his own YouTube videos?

he's a director, not an editor, but that's as much defence as I'll give him because I largely agree with you.
I dread to think which freeware music licensing site he got the music from. Then there's the fonts.... it is really quite amateur.

I agree with you Billblackman. I think I saw the first advertisement for this book in Austria 4 years ago, then came the first delay, then the next ... and so on and a few months ago now the re-awakening as fundraised book. Forget it. This book will not happen, 'cause any serious author would have finished it long ago.

He uses the same "i like his music, but he doesn't turn me on!" quote by Diana Ross in this MJ documentary as well.

  Rudi is now featuring the work of some fans in his book . With still no idea of the final cost I’m worried 😟 I’m fast loosing respect for Rudi . Oh he is also sending out ‘friendship ‘certificates to the first 1000 subscribers of his YouTube channel . A fan is designing them . I just wanted a book which is sincere and also respectful |

I still have hope that he will publish the book, but I'm starting to wonder. I know there are some great fan artists out there, but I'm not at all interested in seeing that as part of his book. If he has a publisher, why isn't he being held to deadlines? I watched his first few "Lives" but his inability to get to the point drove me nuts and I had to stop. He needs to reign in his grand ideas and just get the job done.

If he had a publisher
A) he'd have said so, announcing "coming soon via xxxx books", probably as a SPECIAL FREDDIE NEWS announcement
B) he wouldn't be looking for people to pre-buy

I’ve been blown away by the talent but I’m also not interested in this in Rudi’s book . |

He is using Freddie’s motto ‘without the fans etc etc ‘ Maybe it’s the frame of mind I’m in these days but he really gets on my nerves 😬 |

So according to a YouTube video his book will be out in August and what everyone paid for pre-order is what they are paying for the book
Guess we will see

It would be an enormous cost to Rudi to cover the cost of the book for all of those who pre-ordered. I'm wondering if that is just a PR statement in an effort to rehab his reputation. |

I had no idea you were such a delicate flower, otherwise I wouldn't have done that joke ONCE. We prefer the term snowflakes 😉 To answer your question, unless the book is printed and ready to be distributed right now, there’s no way he’ll hit June… unless it’s print on demand, which is a different beast altogether. But your TLDR seemed to indicate he’s not there yet, so I wouldn’t bet anything worthwhile on it coming out then. |

I preordered. He will face a backlash if it does go on Amazon and all of us that pre ordered have no book . I have written off what I paid if I’m honest

I will be shock if the book is published in 2022 ... or never published. Is he even organized enough to publish a coherent book? |

R.D. should feel ashamed for taking other peoples money and then make them wait for ages without any exact date. What a stupid book it must be!
