THIS will be A Kind of Magic for Freddie Mercury fans... they can get a unique glimpse into his life as a mass of memorabilia goes on show from today for free.
The items, which will be auctioned after the month-long display, include the cape and crown he wore in 1986 during his final stage appearance with rock band Queen. The ensemble is expected to sell for about €93,000.
There is also his Yamaha baby grand piano on which he wrote some of the group’s greatest hits. It is tipped to fetch up to €3.5million.
Fans can also see the draft lyrics of Queen’s 1975 chart-topper Bohemian Rhapsody, scrawled by singer Freddie on a sheet of paper. Experts estimate the item will go for between €930,000 and €1.4m.
