Mr Crane, a finalist in Australia’s Got Talent 2011, is coming to Dubbo this month with his band Bohemian Rhapsody as part of Queen-The Magic Tour.

Mr Crane, who has performed around the world, told the Daily Liberal that country audiences “appreciate the act coming to their town”.
“It’s a great feeling having the audience sing along with the hits,” he said.
They include We Will Rock You, Crazy Little Thing Called Love and We Are The Champions.
Mr Crane said the secret to his performance as the legendary vocalist was “belief” and success had not changed him.
“I am a pretty laid-back guy with a beautiful family and now being a grandad this year has brought me so much more joy to my world,” he said.
