Freddie Mercury's piano and scribbled "Bohemian Rhapsody" lyrics sell for millions at auction

Some of Freddie Mercury's prized possessions went up for auction in London this week – including a grand piano that sold for $2.17 million U.S. dollars.

Another high ticket item – handwritten lyrics for the Queen hit "Bohemian Rhapsody," which the frontman autographed – sold for $1.7 million U.S. dollars. The pages contain a bit of little known history. The song was originally titled "Mongolian Rhapsody" but was altered to "Bohemian Rhapsody," the draft shows. 

While items like a crown and cloak set (which went for $791,784 U.S. dollars), a few guitars, and several catsuits have already sold, there are some pieces still being bid on, including diaries and notebooks with handwritten lyrics and a pair Mercury's signature Adidas high top sneakers.
