  "This has turned out to be a surprising and fun week! It's making me have flashbacks to 2011 when my Queen Extravaganza audition went viral," says Martel. "It's unbelievable that within a few days we're close to 9-million views and it makes me so grateful for the timeless music of Queen. I also feel so humbled to be a part of this continuing phenomenon and that people find my rendition of "Somebody To Love" worth sharing."

Martel has become known as "the voice" of Queen Extravaganza with his similar vocals of the deceased lead singer of the band, Freddie Mercury. Martel is gearing up for an 18-city European tour, The Queen Extravaganza -- A Night At The Opera UK Tour 2016 that launches October 28th and concludes on November 20th.
