Description

Bank of England 'fiver' signed twice by Freddie Mercury on the set of the Dave Clark musical, Time

Bank of England five-pound (£5) banknote, 5.75 x 3, signed twice in blue ballpoint by Freddie Mercury, who signs the front in the lower border, and on the reverse over the portrait of the Duke of Wellington. The bank note is also been signed by Cliff Richard, Perry Como, Hazel Dean, Lionel Bart, Tina Charles, Tony Hatch, and several others. In fine condition. Accompanied by a certificate of authenticity from Tracks.

The consignor notes that the autographs were obtained in the 1980s at the Dominion Theatre, London, England, on the set of the Dave Clark musical Time, which ran from 1986 to 1988. Mercury wrote two songs for the musical, ‘Time’ and ‘In My Defence,’ which both appeared on the musical’s 1986 concept album, and Mercury’s last ever live performance was during a charity performance of Time on April 14, 1988.
