Freddie Mercury, the iconic lead singer of the rock band Queen, also had a crazy little thing for collecting art—amassing an eclectic trove of Fabergé clocks, Victorian paintings and Japanese woodblock prints that are now headed for auction.
After the rock legend died in 1991, his former fiancé and lifelong friend Mary Austin kept everything he owned enshrined and largely unseen in his London home. On Wednesday, Ms. Austin said she was finally ready to sell off his belongings at Sotheby’s this fall.
