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, handwritten lyrics and other items which made up the “exquisite clutter” of his life go under the hammer.

 

The free exhibition brings together Mercury’s private and public worlds, from his gold and platinum discs and lavish stage costumes to personal Polaroid photographs, hip flasks and a travel Scrabble board that accompanied the star on tour.
