Among the items for sale are Mercury’s crown and regal cloak, worn for the 'God Save The Queen' finale during the singer's last tour with Queen in 1986, and handwritten manuscript working lyrics for 'We Are The Champions.'
LONDON, United Kingdom – From a moustache comb to dazzling stage costumes, personal items belonging to late Queen front man Freddie Mercury will go under the hammer in September allowing fans to purchase memorabilia once owned by one of the world’s most famous rock stars.
They will go on public display for the first time in a month-long summer exhibition at Sotheby’s in London before they are sold in six separate auctions, each dedicated to a different aspect of the singer’s life. “It was important to me to do this in a way that I felt Freddie would have loved, and there was nothing he loved more than an auction.”
Handwritten manuscript working lyrics for “We Are The Champions” have an estimate of 200,000–300,000 pounds, while those for “Killer Queen” have a price tag of 50,000–70,000 pounds.
