About The Darkness And Freddie Mercury

I just listened to the song Christmas Time (Don't Let The Bells End) by The Darkness. In my opinion it sums up the Christmas spirit perfectly.
After a while, I noticed that the singer (don't know his name, sorry) sounds remarkably like Freddie Mercury. Also, the song is very Queen-like. But, I'm not a Queen/Freddie expert, so I could very well be that I'm just being silly.
I can only ask you to listen to the song and decide for yourself.

I know that this post is not remotely interesting, but I felt like writing something.
