About the image

Freddie Mercury poses against a wall in the basement of Musicland Studios in Munich, during the making of "Hot Space" in 1981.

"I was taking some portraits of the band for Japan's Music Life magazine and set up in the underground corridor outside Musicland. After doing somewhat standard shots against background paper Fred said, "Come on, I want you to make me look mean and tough." He moved to the adjacent scruffy wall and I changed the lighting...I got the shot and it's one of my favorite images of him. He has a vulnerable look, despite the leather jacket."–Peter Hince
