Where is Freddie Mercury's broken mic stand now?
no idea where the original one landed up...'may well have ended up in the bin. however, the replacement was custom-made by my dad, a prototype engineer, who had routinely produced parts for touring concert rigs...sound and lighting etc. narrower guage than standard mic stands, stainless steel, very light and properly finished for the task...and far less hazardous than its "predecessor". it wasn't a real mic stand, of course...it was a performance "prop" designed specifically to meet Freddie's unique requirements.
hope this was of interest.
