Im a huge King Diamond / Mercyful Fate so dont get me wrong,....singing using falsetto isnt really that hard at all. Kings true power lies in his persona, his story telling and using that falsetto to create a great horror atmosphere :)

ITs 100% pure falcetto. its a fake voice. anyone can do that at any age.. you want to hear real vocals, look at judas priest now. besides when he does painkiller he does add some fake falcettos in there but other than that, its real !!

After his emergency heart surgery ( he had a serious heart attack and was clinically dead for 5 minutes!), he took a long break from singing, quit smoking, drinks very little alcohol and he did lots of vocal training with a vocal coach. His wife Livia, who is a proper trained soprano singer, actually helped him with that.( she does the background vocals here as well.)
