FREDDIE MERCURY'S 'EXQUISITE CLUTTER'
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. The crown is said to be worth between $75,000 to $100,000 dollars, according to Sotheby's. Mercury once referred to his belongings as "exquisite clutter." 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.
