You Need To Hear This Freddie Mercury Tribute Singer's Voice To Believe It... & He's Coming To Aus

The singer who rose to fame with his uncanny vocal likeness to the iconic Freddy Mercury, Marc Martel, is confirmed to tour Australia this year.

Martel, who also allegedly sings for Mercury in the upcoming Bohemian Rhapsody biopic, first made his mark when auditioning for Roger Taylor and Brian May's official tribute band in 2012, with his audition tape of Somebody To Love garnering over 14 million views on YouTube. 

The Canadian artist was eventually selected and performed with the band internationally for many years and he will now head to Australia in August and September for his new project, the Ultimate Queen Celebration, with shows confirmed in Perth, Gold Coast, Sydney and Melbourne. 

"I get a little more artistic freedom in this show," Martel said.

"I feel like I have a good feel for how Freddie interpreted the music. Later in life, he branched out and did his own things, a few covers and some opera. I’ll pick a couple of songs that I wish Freddie recorded in his lifetime and perform them along with the songs that these legendary artists made famous including Radio Gaga, Tie Your Mother Down, Fat Bottomed Girls, Killer Queen, Somebody To Love, Bohemian Rhapsody and many more."
