A bejeweled crown once belonging to Queen front man Freddie Mercury could be yours for the right price. The 'Bohemian Rhapsody' singer's vast collection of costumes, including this replica of St. Edward's crown was worn by Mercury during his last concert in 1986.

Now his art collection and trove of handwritten lyrics to songs such as 'We Are the Champions' and 'Killer Queen' will all be auctioned at Sotheby's in London this September.
