Freddie Mercury’s prized piano and costumes on display ahead of auction

PA Wire

Freddie Mercury’s prized piano, which he composed numerous hits on, is among the thousands of items from his personal collection which have gone on display in London ahead of an auction.

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 Sotheby’s auction house from August 4 to September 5 – which would have marked his 77th birthday.
