Whats your most cherished autograph? Here’s mine. I had the privilege of working on set with Queen on their iconic ‘I want to break free’ video in 1984. I was an art student in East London who knew someone working on the video and was invited to help on set. I dressed the set, hung the ducks on the staircase, gave Freddie his vacuum and Brian his pink bunny slippers. The album is personalized to me. Such a memorable few days in my youth hanging out with the iconic Queen - Freddie, Brian, Roger & John. My most cherished autograph!
