By the start of the 80s, Queen were entering their wilderness years. What punk was unable to do to them, success and excess achieved more easily. Albums of the era like Jazz, The Game and Flash Gordon had all of the musical hallmarks, but precious little of the intensity and fun of their early recordings. Exacerbated by a dreadful relationship with the press (Mercury was rarely interviewed after the NME ran a piece on him with the headline Is This Man A Prat?), singer and band became distant. Mercury in particular came over all Norma Desmond. Speaking to journalist and writer David Wigg in a series of interviews in 1984, he spoke out about the effects of his public image. All my lovers asked me why they couldn’t replace Mary,’ he said in a 1985 interview, ‘but it’s simply impossible. The only friend I’ve got is Mary, and I don’t want anybody else. To me, she was my common-law wife. To me, it was a marriage. We believe in each other, that’s enough for me.’ How do you explain that this individual human being deserved my total and utter appreciation, and love? And that love did alter, it had its journey.

The impact of Freddie Mercury’s sunglasses extends far beyond their practical function, as they became symbolic of his larger-than-life persona and contributed to the evolution of fashion trends.

There is nothing that has gone that she misses. ‘I can still see everything in my mind’s eye. Going through the house I replace the blank wall with the Tissot. Over the years everything has become so familiar. Through the objects I can still see and feel and remember happy times. The ghosts that were here before are gone. It took a while for them to go, but then all the nice memories fall into place.’ Queen had inadvertently done the Pistols a big favour, too. It was after they withdrew at the last minute from a slot on Bill Grundyʼs Today show that the Sex Pistols took their place and swore their way into infamy. After News Of The World, Mercury was aware of the changing status of the band. It wasnʼt just about making records and touring any more. These mirrored Aviator style sunglasses are worn most notably during a key scene during the film where the press are hounding Freddie Mercury about his personal life and sexuality. It’s a high-pressure moment for Freddie and the rest of the band and it was no wonder he was hiding behind the large reflective aviator sunglasses. Bohemian Rhapsody Sunglasses as Worn by Freddie Mercury Freddie Mercury and a girl at one of Queen's infamous parties (Image credit: John Rodgers/Redferns) I think Shakespeare put it best in the sonnets: “Love is not love, Which alters when it alteration finds.” And that’s absolutely true. It is that journey. It’s not one I quite understood at the beginning, but when you read the sonnets and you reflect, you think, yes, that is love. It’s a wonderful emotion to feel, and a wonderful emotion to accept from another human being. But it took me a long time to understand that.’When Austin inherited the house in 1991 there was no thought that she would ever do anything but preserve it as it was. Queen’s ambiguous relationship with the press did have its advantages. The band threw parties to celebrate album releases and band milestones to which they felt free not to invite any members of the ‘fourth estateʼ. The parties grew in legend; they assumed the status of Bacchanals. While the more extreme stories of parties at which dwarves with bowls of cocaine on their heads circulated among the guest were never fully substantiated, those days were (nudge, nudge, wink, wink) wild times. The ‘operatic bitʼ, of course, needs no introduction. Roy Thomas Baker first heard Bohemian Rhapsody when Freddie played it for him on the piano. “It was incomplete, but he knew how he wanted it,” Baker remembers. “He stopped and said: Now this is where the operatic section comes in…ʼ” Inspiring a New Generation: The allure of Freddie Mercury’s sunglasses continues to resonate with fans and artists today.

No. It is what it is. It was what it was.’ I think weʼve got the strongest songs ever,” he continued in a breathless rush. “Itʼs going to be our best album, it really is. If I thought there was something wrong with it I would say so, but there are certain things on the album which weʼve wanted to do for a long time. Iʼm really pleased about the operatic thing.
