An auction featuring a collection of Freddie Mercury’s costumes, fine art, and original lyrics has broken sale records. The auction on Wednesday sold the items for more than $2 million.
A Victorian-style silver snake bangle Mercury wore with an ivory satin catsuit in a video for the song — long before the days of MTV — set a record for the highest price ever paid at auction for a piece of jewelry owned by a rock star, Sotheby's said..
The bracelet went for $881,000 — 100 times its estimated low price. The item broke a record set when John Lennon’s leather and bead talisman sold for $368,000 in 2008, Sotheby’s said.
