To equally appreciate the tons of handwritten lyrics and sketches I have included them in the Sotheby's HQ (best quality available) pictures folder which you can download here! And when the unreleased lots get published later I'll update those in too.
Highlights! There are too many tbh but I'll pick some personal favorites...

I GOT A FUCKING RAISE THE POTATO WORKED WTF
This potato works. Every. Fucking. Time.
I would enjoy some good luck from the potato.
I need some luck right now, so all hail the Lucky Potato. Do your magic, Potato. I respect you so much I am capitalizing the "P" in Potato.
I really like looking into handwritten notes!

Sometimes you just need a pair of drumsticks and two blue eyes to get lost in music, and what music!
Happy birthday to the lion-drummer who makes Queen even more worth to be listened to over and over again🤍
