Inside the Mind

Superfans gather round, because two legends in the music industry are in the spotlight – not for the first time – as Queen frontman Freddie Mercury and the king of pop Michael Jackson’s lives and brains are explored in two-part doccie Inside The Mind.

Psychiatrist Dr Bob Johnson investigates the complex and unusual lives of Freddie and Michael, revealing the forces and experiences that shaped their unique personalities. Because come on, let’s be fair: they had their fair share of mystique.

Nothing is left unexplored – from childhood traumas and heart breaks, to scandals and family dynamics, M&F’s music careers and relationships played a role in the kind of person they were and how it contributed to their eventual deaths – Michael from an overdose of anaesthetic propofol, and Freddie to Aids-related illnesses.

Dr Bob isn’t alone – the people who knew Michael and Freddie best share intimate looks into the legends’ lives away from the cameras as we try to understand them both years after their untimely passing.
