Peter Hince book, "Queen Unseen"

Hi,

I guess many of you will be aware of this forthcoming book by ex roadie Peter Hince.

It's due for release early in October.

The book looks interesting and at 288 pages will not be insubstantial.

It promises not only to focus on Freddie, but also "on the more social bond I had with John..."

I think this could be good. Hince always seemed like a pretty decent bloke, from what I've seen and read at least. In other words, I think he'll be truthful about the happenings around the band and not exaggerate or flat out lie for shock value, which is always the worry with these kind of books.

Quoted from his website :

"My literary agent has shown the manuscript to major international publishers and the response is good, but because it is not a tabloid style, sleazy, reveal-all book...."

Thank Christ for that.

Who would have thought that a book about musicians would focus on music instead of their personal lives?

What beer is Freddie holding on the cover of the book ?

lager  :-)

Wow. Just finished reading Peter's new book and I am blown away: it is wonderful and I couldn’t put it down. The humour in it had me laughing out loud – very funny. Especially tales involving boredom, pyrotechnics and soft toys given to the band as presents and commandeered by the crew....
Everything in it, information-wise, was new and fresh – so interesting.
I think out of all the books on the band I’ve read (practically all), this is the very best. By a mile.

One of the joys of the old fan club website, were Peter's "memoirs" that were published there.
I'm STILL waiting for mine to arrive, but I hope the contents are in the same vein :)

Currently only £8.46 at :

Hmmm I've paid 17,99 for mine. But at least it's signed by the author :-)

Mine came today, Had a quick flick through it, will read it later. One thing though, since Ratty took a camara with him on most of the tours that he did, thought he could have put more "Unseen" photo's in the book.

Those were Crystal's, mate.
