A collection of Freddie Mercury’s personal belongings is about to go up for auction.
More than 1,400 of his former possessions, including his flamboyant stage costumes, handwritten drafts of lyrics, and the baby grand piano he used to compose Queen’s greatest hits, are going on display at Sotheby’s in London ahead of their sale next month. The collection had been left to Mercury’s close friend Mary Austin, and was mostly left untouched in his home for over 30 years since his death.
