Freddie will rock you all
The greatest hits of brit rock sensation Queen, the iconic Freddie mustache and the epic vocals will surely rock you to the core with the arrival of ‘Queen – Bohemian Rhapsody’ at the Cairns Performing Arts Centre tomorrow.
Led by the outstanding vocals of Scottish singer Thomas Crane, Queen – Bohemian Rhapsody, will bring the seminal rock frontman Freddie Mercury back to life with his quintessential mustache, flamboyant outfits, but most importantly, vocals out of this world, accompanied by an extremely talented band which will showcase Brian May’s guitar dexterity, John Deacon’s unforgettable bass riffs and Roger Taylors electrifying drums tomorrow (September 14) at CPAC.
Following a hugely successful 2019/2021 sell-out tours, Queen – Bohemian Rhapsody is returning with a new show in 2023, combining Queen’s greatest hits and a few of the most popular songs on their albums including ‘We Will Rock You’, ‘Crazy Little Thing Called Love’, ‘We Are The Champions’, ‘Radio Ga Ga’, ‘A Kind of Magic’, ‘I Want To Break Free’, ‘Another One Bites the Dust’ and ‘Bohemian Rhapsody’.
“Everything is here, right down to the trademark cheeky banter and singing contests between Freddie and his audience,” frontman and Freddie Mercury impersonator Thomas Crane said.
“I’ve been impersonating Freddy for over 30 years. I was a musician from my early teenage years and I took opera singing lessons when I was 20- years-old, then I tried a Queen song in my band and people started to turn up because my tone and pitch seemed to resemble Freddie’s and it went from there.
“This is a Queen tribute show, the costumes we wear are authentic they come down to fine detail, we all play and kind of look like the members of Queen and I play piano like Freddie did.
“People can expect a real Queen concert, a great live show and overall. They will be happy with the performance and it comes down to the sound of the band and Freddie’s voice.
“My favourite song to sing live is Radio Gaga which I sang in Australia’s Got Talent and people will get to see it in the show.
“So come along to the show. We’re better than all the other tribute bands in Australia, and we’ve been the longest running one in Australia, you’ll get your money’s worth.
“It’s all about the sound for me and we’ll have a laugh, there’ll be a few jokes, and sometimes there are even tears. It’s just a great night out for the whole family.”
