Phil Copping, Being Freddie Mercury
Phil Copping, Being Freddie Mercury
Phil Copping is a vocalist from Tonbridge in Kent. He performs as Freddie Mercury in the touring band \u2018Supersonic Queen\u2019 \u2013 the UK\u2019s most dynamic Queen Tribute act whose ethos is to recreate the most thrilling live experience possible, with the same dynamic sound and look of Queen in their finest live concerts.
Phil is one of the most authentic Freddie\u2019s currently on the tribute circuit. As well as an accomplished singer, Phil is also a talented actor and has been in the performing arts scene since he was 7 when he appeared in his first show. Over the years Phil has performed in musicals, theatre and ballet as well as in bands and duos as a singer and guitarist. Although he has been a Queen fan since 1980, he had been channelling his inner Freddie for three years with his solo act, before joining Supersonic Queen.
Certainly not where Phil ever imagined he\u2019d be! Despite a love affair with music that has lasted his entire life, he never set out to make a living from music. He \u2018gave it a go\u2019 as guitarist with UK indie band Slipstream, before side-stepping and touring Europe as Buddy Holly with the popular show \u2018Rockin\u2019 On Heaven\u2019s Door\u2019. His journey in music has been an amazing education not just in the music itself but in how life has a remarkable habit of making crazy things happen!
It is his great privilege to honour the music he originally grew up listening to by doing continuing the legacy of Queen and bringing it to a new young audience\u2026
In his Wife\u2019s words: \u201che is living his best life\u201d
