“I am honored that a print of my Freddie Mercury photo has been acquired by the National Portrait Gallery in London for their permanent collection. The NPG includes work by some of my all time photographic heroes, including Norman Parkinson, David Bailey, Richard Avedon and Gered Mankowitz. To be included in such a group is truly a dream come true. My thanks go to all at the National Portrait Gallery, and of course to Freddie, Brian, Roger and John and their phenomenal road crew” Neal Preston.
