Overview

In Brian May’s own words and more than 300 previously unseen 3-D photographs, Queen in 3-D is an insider’s look at life with the rock band Queen, told for the first time. The pictures and self-penned text tell the story of Brian’s discovery of the world of stereoscopy as a boy, and chronicles Queen from the early 1970s to the present day. The images, from Brian’s personal archives, were taken using the various stereo cameras which Brian carried throughout his life. Viewed in May’s patented ULTRALITE OWL viewer (included), they leap into stunning three-dimensional realism, giving uniquely vivid impressions of life with Freddie Mercury, Roger Taylor, John Deacon and Brian himself, alongside the people who helped to shape Queen’s amazing global adventure.

Originally published in 2017 in a deluxe slip-cased edition, and then reprinted in 2019 in hardcover, Queen in 3-D has received glowing reviews from the press and broadcast media, as well as from countless music fans around the world who posted their kind comments online.

This new paperback contains everything included in the previous edition:
  • Brian May's 3-D photos and text - scrupulously honest, emotional, beautiful and inspiring
  • Featuring Queen on and off stage from the 1970s to the present day
  • More than 300 previously unseen stereo images
  • Brian May’s glimpses of life in the studio and on the road
  • Bonus sections including 21st century-Queen + Adam Lambert
  • Includes an ULTRALITE OWL 3-D viewer, an ingenious new development of the design, in the back flap of the paperback
  • More than 17 stereo images from the Bohemian Rhapsody movie
 Queen have touched us all. Their music provides a soundtrack to our lives, their rock anthems elevating our spirits through the highs and lows of our time on this planet. This book provides the perfect visual context to the ever-powerful Queen sonic experience – stereoscopy to match the stereophony!
