Freddie Mercury's prized piano that he used to compose Bohemian Rhapsody and other hits by Queen sold for nearly $3 million on Wednesday as some of the late singer's massive collection of flamboyant stage costumes, fine art and original lyrics were auctioned in a sale that broke records.
Freddie Mercury’s vast personal collection is set to go under the hammer at Sotheby’s from 6 September 2023, with an exhibition of 1,200 lots on show in London until then.
Peter Freestone, 68, who lived with Freddie Mercury for 12 years until his death in 1991, believes the tiny Tiffany & Co. moustache comb could cause a frenzy at Sotheby's next month.
Flamboyant stage costumes, a handwritten draft of Bohemian Rhapsody and works of art by Salvador Dali are also part of the more than 1,400 items which will be shown at auction.
