Samurai.fm | new music generation. Reflecting on “40 Years of Queen” - Entertainment. It’s almost a year to the day that I was asked to write the biography of one of the world’s biggest rock bands, Queen, to celebrate their 40 years together. I almost missed the opportunity. Going into my Hotmail, I decided to check on junk mail, something I usually just delete, but for some reason went into it and there was this email with a subject line saying “Queen writing project”.
The email was from the editorial manager of Carlton Books saying that Queen had asked him to ask me if I would be interested in writing the official Queen biography. Intrigued, I wrote back in the affirmative. Roland and I had a meeting, agreed terms and off we went. So the lesson here is: ALWAYS check your junk mail! As with all things Queen, nothing is as straightforward as it seems. I was also holding down my “day job” as managing editor of Books & Media, which is completely deadline driven itself, so basically it was three months of early morning and late night writing.
