Freddie Mercury’s Yamaha baby grand piano has been sold for £1.74m as thousands of his possessions were auctioned on Wednesday night, amid criticism by some fans and Brian May.
The Queen frontman left his Kensington home, Garden Lodge, and its contents to his close friend Mary Austin. More than 32 years after his death, Austin is selling the contents at Sotheby’s, with some of the proceeds going to charity after the six-day sale.
