      Lunatik Marc's vocals are just too light for 80's Freddie. By '82, Freddie wasn't even singing Love of My Life in the original key anymore. Nor could he emulate the head voice he had in the 70's.
      There's a reason why all the Freddie impressionists copy 80's Freddie's live vocals. It was much easier. Marc's the only one I've listened to that can come close to Freddie's 70's vocals.

I have watched countless videos of you together as a group and him alone and I have run the true gamut of emotions...smiled, laughed, cried, sighed, sang along, stared in wide eyed amazement and shaken my head in utter disbelief (in a good way)...it makes me feel a somewhat bittersweet sense of nostalgia but also a sense of knowing that these songs and this type of talent and the execution of it will hopefully never be lost.

    I saw you Mark in Carmel, NY this year, August 3rd 2024. I was the one that took a selfie with you, dressing like an old Freddy one. Although we had a lot rain the show was amazing! I was celebrating my 60th birthday that night with my family in there. Hope you are back here next year! 👍👊👏

    Marc is another level here, but he's not the only one. Tristan is insanely good as Bowie, and the rest of the band are incredible too, I pray to God these guys come to the UK in the not too distant future, I'm desperate to see them!
