‘I’ve always thought of us as a top group. Sounds very big-headed, I know, but that’s the way it is.’ – Freddie Mercury

Step into the electrifying world of Queen in their official limited edition Killer Queen, a stunning tribute to one of rock music’s most legendary bands. Featuring the revered work of photographer Mick Rock and commentary from Mary Austin, John Deacon, Brian May, Freddie Mercury and Roger Taylor, this signed limited edition offers an unprecedented visual chronicle of Queen’s meteoric rise.

‘Mick Rock always was a class act. We met, he and we young Queenies, at a point in our careers where the skies had opened up and creatively the scope of our journey was limitless – very exciting times.’ – Brian May

On the 18th of November 1973, Mick Rock took his first shots of an up-and-coming group called Queen at the band’s breakthrough gig at Imperial College, London. Mick’s photographs of the concert are just a small part of an archive of nearly 400 rare and unseen images preserved in Killer Queen for posterity. From electrifying live performances to closed-door recording sessions, from studio portraits to candid backstage moments, Mick Rock’s photographs capture the charisma and energy that defined Queen.
‘Looking back, it is obvious that Mick was a master of his art very early on. The images in this book (including many we rejected at the time, sometimes for artistic reasons, sometimes for reasons of vanity!) stand up fresh and untarnished by time.’ – Brian May
Mick’s collaboration with Freddie, Brian, Roger and John lasted until 1976 and Queen’s legendary free concert in Hyde Park. During this time he helped create the iconic album covers for Queen II and Sheer Heart Attack. Previously unpublished outtakes and test Polaroids from these famed sessions are included in Killer Queen, a testament to the enduring magic of Queen, immortalized through Mick Rock’s lens.

‘If you go on stage, you might as well look good. It seems like a waste of time if you don’t. I mean, why the hell are you up there?’ – Roger Taylor
