"I’m humbled that I’ve got the training that Freddie knew he lacked. But I think his passion and creative energy made up for it and made him the genius he was." Alfie Boe explores the art of Freddie Mercury; the outrageous genius, the ultimate front-man of Queen, and superlative songwriter and singer. In this film he argues that Freddie’s genius comes from the very lack of formal musical training that Alfie found himself kicking against in his own quest to escape the constraints of the opera world. He performs ‘Barcelona’ live - a song Freddie himself only performed live twice. He is shown never-before-seen footage of Freddie Bulsara when he first came to England. Alfie travels to the old Queen recording studios at Montreux, talks to Montserrat Caballe, discusses Live Aid with Bob Gedolf, and talks to Queen guitarist and songwriter Brian May.
