Freddie Mercury Is The Greatest Singer Of All Time, According To Science

Freddie Mercury Is The Greatest Singer Of All Time, According To Science

And who are we to argue?

Freddie Mercury is so dominant and prevalent that it's impossible to ignore his contribution to the moustache game. However, secondary to being a poster boy for upper lip decorations, he was also a singer from time-to-time.

Sadly, 24th November marks 25 years since the 'Under Pressure' singer died. But that should mean it is a time to celebrate his talent.

Along with the rest of the members of Queen, Freddie stormed the world with songs that not only fit perfectly in a middle-aged man's Vauxhall Insignia, but also at the end of a club night when everyone is pissed enough to scream the words to 'Don't Stop Me Now'.

The perfect ode to Freddie is that he has been deemed by science to be the greatest singer of all time.

A team of Austrian, Czech, and Swedish researchers found that the average vibrato varies from 5.4 Hz to 6.9 Hz; Mercury's was 7.04 Hz. Who are we to argue with science? Fred is the best.

The proper logistics behind the science can be found in Logopedics Phoniatrics Vocology but you and I both know you're now thinking about finding a bar that plays 'Bohemian Rhapsody' in its entirety at 3am.
