Christian singer auditions for Queen Extravaganza...

For those who don't know, I'm a huge fan of Christian band Downhere. For years now, Marc Martel, one of the band's two lead singers (that's right - they have two lead singers) has often been compared to Freddie Mercury of Queen.

Well, now he's become famous.

Queen's drummer has set up an international talent search to find people for a Queen tribute band to help celebrate the group's 40th anniversary.

Marc's friend told him about the contest, Marc submitted an audition video, and the rest is history...

Haha! Looks like you and I are thinking on the same wavelength Oldiesmann!
