Freddie Mercury's Crown, Handwritten Lyrics, Acoustic Guitar Going Up For Auction

Queen singer Freddie Mercury's stage costumes, handwritten lyrics and paintings are among more than 1,500 items from the late singer’s private collection that are going up for auction. Items from his home - Garden Lodge in Kensington, west London - will go on display from August 4 until September 5, which would have marked his 77th birthday. The collection includes a replica of St. Edward's Crown and its accompanying cloak in fake fur, red velvet and rhinestones that were worn by the singer during some of his most famous concerts. These include the legendary Live Aid in 1985, as well as the finale rendition of God Save The Queen during his last tour with Queen in 1986. Also up for sale are previously unseen handwritten working lyrics to Queen's 1977 hit “We Are The Champions” and lyrics to the classic anthem “Killer Queen.” Fans can also get their hands on a 1975 Martin D-35 acoustic guitar on which it is thought Mercury wrote and recorded Crazy Little Thing Called Love.
