Hi everyone.

Today I shared with you an article taken from the American music magazine Circus and, more precisely, from the issue of Thursday May 13th, 1976. Entitled Art vs. life. Queen's Freddie Mercury Remembers Both, it is a long and detailed interview with the Queen frontman held by the American journalist Stephen Ford in which various topics are dealt with, above all the band's way of performing on stage.

Enjoy the reading!

Amidst all of his throwaway answers, this one was surprisingly frank:

"If we hadn't gotten a new manager, I don't think the band would still be together."

We now know that is definitely true.

Artists must pass on, but sometimes a mix of passion, good fortune, diligence, expertise, and meticulous labour can capture and restore some of the beauty they left behind.

And then there's this:

"I'm interested in literature and such".

8 or 9 years later he told in front of the camera that reading is a waste of time, but I can't remember which interview this is from.
