Feast your eyes on these original lyrics scrawled by Freddie Mercury of Queen while writing the #1 hit song Bohemian Rhapsody. The small sheet of paper is going under the hammer and is expected to fetch nearly a million at a huge upcoming auction of his possessions.

And if you'll be in London this August and September, you can see that and more in a new month-long exhibition which will immerse visitors in Freddie's world, showcasing some of the most exciting and rare examples of memorabilia from a true legend of the 20th century.

The centerpiece of the Sotheby's sale is Freddie's favorite baby Grand Piano used to compose some of the band's greatest hits. Those are just two of the rarities in a massive sale of Mercury's possessions that will go on display to the public for one month prior to the sale beginning on his birthday, September 5.

Other handwritten draft lyrics include Don't Stop Me Now, Somebody to Love, and We Are the Champions. The surviving sheets provide fascinating insight into how his songs were developed and evolved.

All 15 galleries in Sotheby's London will be exhibiting 16,000 sq-ft of costumes, hand-written lyrics, drawings, furniture, decor, and fine art.

The sale includes the long red cape and crown, for instance, that he wore on his very final stage performance with Queen in 1986 as well as the early cat-suits, onto which he sewed his very own 'Mercury Wings'.
