Heavily influenced by Freddie Mercury, he creates a huge choir effect by overdubbing his own voice multiple times in complex, overlapping vocal harmonies.

I wouldn't say he's a "celebrity" because he's an underground metal musician but I added him because he wrote and sang songs about the LOTR many years before the movie. His track #1 on his debut album was based on the LOTR (Majesty by Blind Guardian, 1988). He also wrote a power ballad called Lord Of The Rings (1990), and several more songs.
I am sure he's a massive fan.
