PaulDW Posted December 13, 2004 Report Share Posted December 13, 2004 I think if you asked Paul Rodgers if he felt he was replacing Freddie... he would strongly disagree with you, and say you can't replace an entertianer like Freddie. Freddie wanted Queen to go on without him, and its taken them over 12 years to put a plan like this into action, they have at least asked one of Freddie's favourite frontmen to stand in... And can I say, that neither Brian may or Roger have been fmaous for doing it 'for the money' except for charity records, which can I also say, they have put so much effort into and have raised a lot for.

PaulDW Posted December 14, 2004 Report Share Posted December 14, 2004 Press Release for those who are interested... it also appears to answer some of the questions/comments made in the thread.QUEEN MEETS BAD COMPANY FOR 2005 TOUR:It seems Queen will tour in 2005, with Roger Taylor and Brian May deciding on Paul Rodgers as the man to fill the mighty shoes of the late, great Freddy Mercury. The 2005 tour looks to take in Europe and the UK at this stage. No word as yet as to whether John Deacon will be involved. The moniker for the tour will be Queen And Paul Rodgers.The guys are quoted as saying the following: Roger Taylor: "We decided we gonna do a Queen tour. We're touring in Deutschland, in Germany, and Europe next spring. So, first time in many years: a Queen tour - brand-new news and we are very excited to do that. ... We have a fantastic singer ... his name is Paul Rodgers. ... He was one of Freddie's favourite singers - and one of our favourite singers."Brian May: "We didn't finally push the button yet, but really we made the decision that we want to do this [a tour next year]. Finally we found a singer that we want to work with. It doesn't mean he joins the band. Nobody is replacing Freddie. ... Paul Rodgers ... we thought okay, this is somebody worthy of going out with and making something new. ... We want to make something new, we want to make something which means something now."
