After Freddie's death, the band initially tried to create a memorial for his fans and followers in London. However, the city council refused. A suitable location was found in Montreux on the shores of Lake Geneva, where the band recorded their last albums and albums at Mountain Studios, and where Freddie also owned an apartment. The statue, created by sculptor Irena Sedlecka (1928-2020), stands almost 3 meters high above Lake Geneva and was unveiled five years after Freddie's death, on November 25, 1996, by Freddie's parents and Montserrat Caballé, in the presence of band members Brian May and Roger Taylor.
