A website has been created in memory of Norbert Muller. His passion for Freddie Mercury and all things Queen knew no bounds. He was unique, a one-off.
Please leave a tribute @ https://www.forevermissed.com/norbert-muller/
The site has been set up with the full knowledge and support of Norbert's family.
Norbert was a true spirit of Montreux.

Norbert and Bazar Suisse were for us inextricably linked. We first met in the 80’s when his amazing toy and souvenir shop was an Aladdin’s cave for small people. Gradually the toys and cuckoo clocks gave way to more and more Queen gear and I doubt a Queen fan exists anywhere in the world who, if in Montreux, didn’t enter the portals of his shop...Bazar Suisse.
Norbert was a phenomenon, his zest for life, his devotion to Montreux, and his passion for Freddie Mercury and all things Queen knew no bounds. He was the custodian of the Freddie statue working tirelessly with the Commune to keep it in immaculate condition. When some lunatic painted Freddie bright green, it was Norbert who alerted the council workers at dawn and it was clean by 8.00 am.
In the ‘90s Norbert started the annual Freddie Mercury Fan Celebration which became Montreux Celebrations and the hugely successful Christmas Market was his brainchild.
We are going to miss him…his friendship, his love for Jim, and his support for the MPT gave us such a special bond. He was unique, a one-off. Thank you Norbert for being you and for your over-the-top crazy enthusiasm. We salute you.
