One and a half thousand things Freddie Mercury will sell at auction in London.

May 9, 2023

In London, Mary Austin, a friend of Freddie Mercury, will auction 1,500 personal belongings of the musician at Sotheby's. One of the most interesting lots is a crown made in the image of the headdress of British monarchs and a red velvet mantle with faux fur and rhinestones. In this costume, Mercury performed the song God Save the Queen at his last live performance at Knebworth in 1986. Other valuable items include a manuscript with lyrics to We are the Champions, a small Tiffany silver mustache comb, and a 1975 Mercury Martin D-35 acoustic guitar in its original case. In addition, paintings and artifacts that Freddie Mercury bought during his travels will be put up for auction.
