    I read the title as "Freddie Mercury audition". Apparently I'd have just as little chance of winning either of the two.

    Astounded by the results to be honest. Worth taking a look.

    A silver bracelet he wore for the Bohemian Rhapsody video went for £700,000. But everything sold is really an eye opener. Every sold item I looked at and thought wow.

    I went to the exhibition in London. It was pretty amazing to see everything, but for me the best things were the things that showed his human side, the water marks on the furniture, the wear on the kitchen table and so on.

    Damn! I forgot to go along. What a bummer.  If I was a billionaire I'd have bought the lot and set up a Queen museum. Shame that they didn't do that, Assuming that Jim Hutton and Mary Austin owned this stuff it's not as if either needed the money.

    I didn't see the armband thing he wore often, but memorably at live aid.

    I was watching the Live Aid performance today....  literally made my skin tingle.  Talk about a perfect live performance....  Breathtaking.

    Was introduced to Queen by a friend when I was 8. He asked if I'd heard of Freddie Mercury and I said no and imagined him to be some muscle bound astronaut super hero guy.
