Prolific opera tenor Ken Nishikiori has received online acclaim for his rendition of Queen’s “Bohemian Rhapsody”, Japan Today reported on 2 February.
Celebrated as a successful singer, the 55-year-old front man of the Shimane Ken Band reportedly knows the song thanks to his father’s musical influence when he was growing up.
Since the band’s label uploaded the cover of the British rock band last year, the song has attracted an increasing number of viewers, with many commenting that Nishikiori’s vocal rendition sounds hauntingly similar to that of Freddie Mercury.
