The Darkness use Freddie Mercury’s piano

In a recent article (at Gigwise.com) Justin Hawkins of band The Darkness has ‘admitted that a piano used on the band’s new album was used by Freddie Mercury on Queen’s seminal Bohemian Rhapsody‘.

Reading that, it sounded almost as if he’s embarrassed to be associated with Queen.

However, he then went on to say that the “English Country Garden” track was very special to him precisely because it features the same piano played by Freiddie Mercury.

Nice.
