I'm reading my way through the biographies about Queen and Freddie.
Any suggestions about which books are the most details and accurate?

Peter Freestone's book and "Mercury and Me"
The Real Mary Austin
Fear not! I cometh to tell you the truth.
Personally, i would like to encourage some members on this forum to (maybe collectively) write a biography on Queen and/or FM. There's still many people more or less close to the band who had never been interviewed in detail for a book. Of course, you'll never know if they would agree to talk, but one might as well try to get them to contribute to a new new, different biography.

Jim Hutton's book is very good.

Even though it was actually a biography about himself, I liked Peter Hince's book. It gave a unique perspective of the band.

Agreed on Peter Hince, Queen Unseen. Irreverent in tone but when he means something it resonates.
The other one is Queen The Early Years by Mark Hodkinson.
I find the more official ones too dry and a lot of the ones by journalists too tabloid and lacking in original sources.
Freestone/ Hutton’s are passable, with extra insight into Freddie.

The 1976 ones, as they hadn't been 'contaminated' by urban legends and stuff, or at least not too much.
