Acclaimed Queen tribute show ‘The Ultimate Queen Celebration’ has announced a run of Australian shows for 2018.
Fronted by remarkable Freddie Mercury sound-a-like Marc Martel – whose voice you can hear in the trailer for Queen biopic Bohemian Rhapsody – ‘The Ultimate Queen Celebration’ is a little different to the tribute shows we’ve come to know. Martel says he’s been given a lot more artistic freedom.
“I feel like I have a good feel for how Freddie interpreted the music,” he said in a statement. “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.”
This four-date tour comes not too long after the real Queen were last here, having toured back in February and giving an absolute monster setlist.
