I need a little help with this. I'm searching for information but I can't find the answer.
The Freddie Statue in Montreux was unveiled in 1996/11/26 but the Made in Heaven album released in november 1995.
The cover photo is Freddie's statue from Montreux?. Was it already sculped?
Thanks for your answers, and sorry for my english.
no...the one on the cover of the made in album is about 9-12 inches in height....it was photographed on its own and superimposed over the picture of the cabin by the lake...as was the three remaining band members..the statue in montreux was commissioned to be built at the same time as the album launch...so first a small one made,which got used on the album..then a year later the life size statue was finished....
I've been wondering about this too, because tourists are taking pictures with the statue in the CITY of Montreux, and the cabin seems to be out in the WOODS.
Thanks for clarifying, Pestgrid!
I seem to recall some relation between the Made In Heaven sculpture and the Freddie Mercury Brit Award. I believe the award was only presented for a couple of years and "maybe" the cover of the album used the same sculpture ??
Either way it's a great cover and a very fine, and under valued album.
