Freddie Mercury is one of the most written-about figures in rock history — and one of the most misunderstood.

In this episode of My Rock Moment, Amanda Morck speaks with acclaimed rock journalist Lesley-Ann Jones about her most intimate book yet, Love, Freddie: Freddie Mercury’s Secret Life and Love. Built around private journals Freddie Mercury entrusted to someone very close to him — his daughter — the book offers rare insight into a hidden part of his life, far from the stage, the myth, and the spectacle.

Lesley-Ann shares how a mysterious email led her to this extraordinary material, why Freddie insisted some notebooks not be read for decades, and what they reveal about love, secrecy, sexuality, fatherhood, and the emotional cost of fame. The conversation also reexamines Mary Austin’s role in Freddie’s life, the profound secrecy surrounding his child, and the weight of honoring a truth Freddie never intended to be public.

This is not an episode about dismantling a legacy. It’s about adding dimension — about seeing Freddie Mercury not just as an icon, but as a deeply human man shaped by fear, devotion, contradiction, and love.

John Corabi joins Metal Mayhem ROC to discuss his new solo
album New Day, arriving April 24, and the creative mindset behind the
record.

In this conversation, Corabi talks about approaching New
Day as a true solo project, writing with longtime collaborator Marty
Fredriksen, and allowing the songs to develop organically without chasing
trends or categories. He also breaks down the meaning behind the title track,
the visual approach to the music video, and how the album reflects where he is
creatively today.

The discussion also dives into Corabi’s all-star touring
band, how the lineup came together, and what fans can expect from upcoming U.S.
and international dates. The interview closes with a candid look back at the
Motley Crüe era, including recording stories, the origin of “Hooligan’s
Holiday,” and how perspective has changed over time.
