Mark Martel is a unique phenomenon - he doesn't just sing like Freddie Mercury, mimicking his mannerisms and vocal intonations down to the smallest detail. He is also visually very similar to the legendary Queen soloist. It is no coincidence that critics call Martel the reincarnation of Mercury. Queen's famous drummer Roger Taylor chose Mark for the film Bohemian Rhapsody, in which Rami Malek, who played Mercury, sings his voice.
In 2011, Mark Martel performed an excerpt from 'Somebody To Love' as part of the "Queen Extravaganza" contest. It was enough to enchant not only the audience but also Queen's musicians. Martel's video received around 9 000 000 views.
After the sensational release of the film Bohemian Rhapsody in 2018, a new wave of popularity for Queen swept the world, while in the musicians' home country, the invaluable contribution of the band members to music and cultural history was finally recognised. Mark Martel's life has also changed dramatically since then.
Marc has been described as the counterpart or reincarnation of the rock legend and inimitable showman. It is not only the visual resemblance in facial features and the haunting timbre of his voice that link him to Freddie Mercury. Mark has an indescribable charisma and copies Mercury's stage moves perfectly. This is not only true of his admirers, but also of Queen's long-standing members, guitarist Brian May and percussionist Roger Taylor. It was they who chose Martel to be the soloist for the official tribute project, The Queen Extravaganza. Incidentally, Mark Martel has also contributed his voice to the film. It was he who performed Mercury's parts in the film, helping Rami Malek to play the role of the legendary musician brilliantly.
All his concerts are a huge success, with tickets selling out literally within days. Now people in Latvia have a unique opportunity to enjoy Mark Martel's performances and Queen's legendary hits as part of the QUEEN SHOW world tour.
Don't miss the chance to hear Freddie Mercury's virtually identical voice!
