Freddie Mercury Queen - a rare glimpse at some of his personal art collection © Sotheby's

Foreword

For many years now, I have had the joy and privilege of living surrounded by all the wonderful things that Freddie sought out and so loved. But with the passing of time the moment has arrived for me to take what was the difficult decision to close this very special chapter of my life.
It was, of course, incredibly important to me to do this in a way that I felt Freddie would have loved, and there was nothing he loved more than an auction and no auction house he loved more than Sotheby's.
What a wonderful and fitting partnership!

His beautiful possessions should be collected in a museum!!

[@andreamack7867]

Freddie didn’t want them stuck in a museum and Mary is respecting his desire so they’re being auctioned

[@hildaandrade3262]

Freddie não COMBINA com MUSEU!!! Ele nunca quis seus bens em museu.

Freddy Mercury was amazing in all aspects of life. He will be missed greatly.

[@realme-os7zx]

We missed his voice , The greatest Voice ever .. 🙌🏻💔

[@marilynmcvey8974]

There will never be another Freddie Mercury which is very sad for us 🙏🏼

[@johntaylor6345]

Loved Freddie Mercury always have always will I listen to greatest hits radio. They play a Queen song all of the time. All of them a masterpiece. I have all of Queens albums on cd and love playing them. Freddie was the best in the business at what he did. As a fan my eyes and ears were transfixed when ever he was on stage. He owned the the stage.

I went to Sothebys to see the Freddie Mercury Exhibition of his personal things. It was very heart felt & I felt sad. Yet a wonderful insight to the man, who became Freddie Mercury, fantastic Musician.Who also had wonderful taste ⭐️

[@lynnlorenz5548]

Sad about Freddie’s treasures separated all over the world! I love him!! He was such a special man!!!

[@lynnlorenz5548]

Lucky you!! Wonderful!!

[@NoName-mp5rz]

@faithmapstone9982 It’s not normal that the things of such a legendary person are sold at auction! This should be kept in a museum!

[@faithmapstone9982]

@NoName-mp5rz Where would you find the museum, build one? We are all just passing through all those treasures of Freddie's. Are on an ongoing journey. Fred would be totally with Mary on selling & letting people enjoy & bring a smile to a sour face! That gave him joy, too!⭐️🍸

[@NoName-mp5rz]

@@faithmapstone9982 I know that there is a museum in Switzerland, in Montreux, and all his things could be taken there, or a museum could be opened in London, I am sure that there would be a lot of people who would want to see his things in museums

[@flossyflue4305]

Thank you for keeping Freddie’s memory alive Peter. I’m upset how hs belongings are being sold off to the nearest bidder. I understand Mary’s decision, but to have somewhere where fans could go to relive their memories of Freddie would have been wonderful. His fans loved him with genuine love, it hurts.

[@malbarnes6988]

Legend 😊

Freddie is still a legend. Never will for get him what a star 🌟

[@fjdslkfjdsklfjdsklfj]

This is genius. This. Unfortunately that word is thrown around too loosely now.

[@skywalkerranch]

They should all be in a museum so people can see them all not locked away in a private collection away from the views of fans. Surely more money would be raised for aids in this way. Come on Bryan make it happen.

[@susanmahr6068]

Jim said in his book that Freddie gave him his yellow leather jacket. I wonder whatever became of that.

[@americandevo]

Jim donated the famous jacket to the "Freddie Mercury Museum" in Stone Town Zanzibar where Freddie was born.

[@charlottebakker5580]

Who buys now the shoes of a person who died 31 years ago. Ridiculous

[@loriethomas169]

People that love the man that wore them

[@johnbaxter9875]

Those shoes were on the feet of a man whose self belief was a driving force behind one of the most successful bands of all time and worn at what is considered one of the absolute greatest live performances in history.

[@gabyy556]

There's someone to buy them. You're ridiculous. People still love Freddie
