This sale took place at a recent ‘Sothebys‘ auction dedicated to Mercury’s possessions, drawing attention from collectors and fans worldwide.
The piano, known for its role in the creation of some of Queen’s biggest hits (‘Bohemian Rhapsody’ & 1992 Olympic theme ‘Barcelona‘ for example), was initially expected to fetch bids as high as $3.75 million. Despite falling short of these projections, the final sale price of $2.2 million (£1.7 million) is a testament to the enduring legacy of Mercury and the iconic status of Queen in the realm of rock music.
