Almost 30,000 items including clothing and hand-written lyrics that belonged to Queen frontman exhibited before sale
A black lacquered baby grand piano at which Freddie Mercury composed and developed some of Queen’s biggest hits, including Bohemian Rhapsody, is the centrepiece of a sale of the singer’s possessions next month.
The Yamaha baby grand piano is on display at Sotheby’s auction house in central London for the next month, until almost 30,000 objects, artworks, items of clothing and furniture, photographs, hand-written lyrics and other items which made up the “exquisite clutter” of his life go under the hammer.
