To be fair to Rudi he did say that the German language book would be offered on sale firstly and the English language book from August and we are not yet in August.

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. Once it was used in a rolling stones DoRo documentary, in a slightly longer form - it turned out the quote is originally about Mick Jagger! typical DoRo... |

I see that today Rudi showed himself signing the German version of the book on his YouTube channel. The book looks the normal size, and about normal thickness if not thicker than some for a Freddie book.

What I don't understand is why is he doing a German version first then everyone else?

My copy has arrived and as i can read till now, a well written book about Freddie Mercury. Besides the long waiting time, a nice package that fits good in the book history about the band. I never doubt about the release, but yes, Rudi could act a bit more professional, as he does in the long timeline of this book!

He has outed Cliff Richard and Dave Clark as gay but to my knowledge they have chosen to keep their sexuality out of the public eye . |

It exists?  Fair enough, I was never convinced it would. |

Being gay is not that great deal anymore and I think everyone knows probably Cliff and Dave are gay… so not reason for me to call this book not a good one. |

Uhm maybe the people who were outed against their will? It's just ignorant to use "it's not a big deal anymore" when in reality countries still persecute homosexual people and homophobia still exists. No one should be outed against their will. Like even if it wasn't "a big deal" for the majority anymore, it still might be a big deal for the person in the closet and that should be treated with respect

This isn’t about being gay , it’s about personal information shared. Cliff Richard has made it known he hates all the talk of his sexuality; gay or not . I think Rudi is being quite a dick |

I read somewhere that Rudi wrote he was at GL when freddie,Elton and rod were talking about the group. Nose, teeth and hair. But then they put in the same article that rod said that happened in California. I have a feeling Rudi just injects himself into things that he wasn't even there for.

He has also been teasing people about the gorilla suit and was it Elton inside ! Peter F said years ago it wasn’t anyone famous . |

I did not pre-order the book and am waiting to read reviews of the English version when it comes out before I decide if I want to purchase. I won't pay much, I've already decided that. Since you have the book Mayniac, can you tell me if it contains any unseen photos? That might make it more interesting to me. |

In coulor, but very small... a few unseen pics indeed, but not really spectecular. I found all the "Freddie Art Pics" steals room for original photos, that fits better in this book. |

New photos might have tempted me to purchase the book, but I'm probably going to skip this one. Rudi is so full of himself that I find it hard to support him in anything at this point. Too bad because I think his work with Queen was fantastic. |

Rudi's book is available in English on amazon - would be interesting to read it, didn't expect an Englsih version to appear that fast after a German version

I'm curious has anyone received the English version of the book yet. I paid the $10 but got no confirmation so I doubt I will be getting one.

Wish I hadn’t of done this tbh ; I was a bit green about Rudi back then . Doughnut, I think we all were naive about him. I tuned into his early YouTube broadcasts, eager for news of the book. It wasn't long before I realized how self-centered the man is and stopped listening to him. I hope you do get a book because I'd like to know if there are new pictures, but that's all that interests me. |
