A lyric sheet containing Freddie Mercury's handwritten notes for Queen's "Bohemian Rhapsody" reveals the song was nearly titled "Mongolian Rhapsody."
The 15 pages of lyrics, written on stationary for a defunct airline, are among the over 1,500 personal items belonging to the Queen singer that are coming up for auction this month, according to an announcement by auction house Sotheby's.

Staind recently released a video for "Lowest In Me," the first single from their upcoming album, Confessions of the Fallen.
The DJay Brawner-directed "Lowest In Me" video is set inside a mental institution, with the dark heaviness of the song fitting the despair of the asylum walls.

Confessions of the Fallen, which is Staind's first studio album since 2011, is scheduled to arrive this fall via Alchemy Recordings/BMG.
