Frenzied Freddie Mercury Auction Totals 15. 4 Million

Freddie Mercury brought down the house one last time on Wednesday night at Sothebys in London, when items from the late Queen frontmans estate blew past their high estimate of 7. 2 million (9 million) to total 12. 2 million. A highenergy, inperson audience regularly burst into applause and cheers. Many attendees dressed up in Mercuryrelated outfits. One man, after purchasing Mercurys famous crown and cape for 635, 000, jumped up with two fists clenched in the air in triumph. Source:
