More than 400 rare and sought-after artefacts from music history will go under the hammer this April, as items from some of the world’s most celebrated artists come to auction in London.
Propstore, a leading entertainment memorabilia auction house, has announced that the sale – which is open to bidders worldwide – will take place on the 30 April.
Mark Hochman, Propstore’s music specialist said: “The sale spans genres, generations, and defining cultural moments.”
A key highlight of the auction is a gold Shure 565 SD microphone award presented to Queen and used by Freddie Mercury.
It comes directly from the personal collection of the band’s head roadie Peter Hince, who worked with the group from 1975 until the band’s final concert with Mercury at Knebworth in 1986.
Hince said: “These items carry wonderful memories from my time with Freddie, Brian, Roger, and John.”
Fans can see the standout items at an exhibition in The Cumberland Hotel from the 22-25 April.
