The costume worn by Freddie Mercury in one of his final video appearances has sold for almost £200,000. The Queen star was seen in the two-piece black wool Antony Price suit while filming the music video for I'm Going Slightly Mad in 1991. He had extra layers of clothing and make up on to conceal his emaciated figure as he was extremely ill with AIDS.
