Freddie Mercury’s Iconic “Magic” Tour Crown Up for Auction at Sotheby’s in New York

The crown that Queen singer Freddie Mercury wore on stage during the “Magic” tour in 1986 will soon go under the hammer – now interested parties have been able to take a look at the famous headdress of the musician who died in 1991 at the Sotheby’s auction house in New York . Photos from Thursday show people standing in amazement in front of the showcase.

According to the catalogue, Sotheby’s has estimated a price of between 60,000 and 80,000 pounds (about 70,000 to 93,000 euros) for the jeweled imitation crown and the corresponding cape with a cape made of faux fur and dark red velvet. The ensemble is to be auctioned in September along with hundreds of other objects from Mercury’s London brick villa “Garden Lodge”. The “Magic” tour was Mercury’s last. The singer fell ill with AIDS and died on November 24, 1991 at the age of 45 in London as a result of pneumonia.
