This September, Sotheby’s will present Freddie Mercury: A World of His Own, a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to explore the public and private realm of a global icon.

Mercury was a larger-than-life figure who left a lasting legacy on the music world. He was a gifted singer, songwriter, and performer, and he helped to redefine the role of the frontman in rock music. His flamboyant stage persona and his four-octave vocal range made him one of the most iconic performers of all time.

Mercury’s death from AIDS in 1991 was a major loss to the music world. However, his music continues to inspire and entertain people all over the world. He is considered one of the greatest singers of all time, and his music will continue to be enjoyed for generations to come.

 A world-renowned rock superstar, away from the stage Freddie Mercury was a deeply educated collector. Across six auctions, Sotheby’s reflects Freddie Mercury’s kaleidoscopic world of style and quality, spanning art, fashion, musical instruments, personal papers, possessions and photographs, furniture, and jewels, accrued over the course of fifty years.

 The series of auctions is preceded by a month-long public exhibition which will immerse visitors in Freddie’s world, in a one-of-a-kind experience, allowing full access to some of the most exciting and rare examples of artefacts from a true legend of the 20th century.
