Queen Freddie Mercury "Time Waits For No One" Handwritten Lyrics & Performance Notes Used for Freddie’s Last Ever Performance on 4/14/1988!
Queen frontman Freddie Mercury has handwritten the lyrics to “Time Waits For No One” on 8.5" x 11" paper with a vintage blue ballpoint pen.
“Time Waits For No One” was released on Freddie Mercury’s album “The Freddie Mercury Album” but most importantly used for Dave Clark’s musical “Time."
What makes this lyric sheet so special was that it was used during Freddie Mercury’s last performance on 4/14/1988 at the Dominion Theatre. Freddie Mercury and Cliff Richard performed and it would be Freddie Mercury’s last performance. Freddie used this sheet as a way to remember the song lyrics, and cues for the song “Time Waits For No One." The lyric sheet originates from Jim Hutton, Mercury’s ex-boyfriend. Hutton then gave the lyric sheet to Camela, a close friend of his. The sheet has much historical value to Freddie as it was used during the last time anyone ever got to see him perform live.
A special piece of memorabilia for any Queen fan. Good condition, with some browning on the paper. Measures 8.5" x 11" and double sided.
Authentication: Comes with original photographs of Jim and Camela signed by Jim Hutton, a Letter Signed by Jim Hutton, a James Spence Authentication (JSA) Letter of Authenticity, and a Gotta Have Rock and Roll Certificate of Authenticity.
