No it's not Queen, but if they
had to choose a new singer they made the right choice.
My ex ran a large center for retarded kids in L.A. and every year there was a huge one-day biker fund raising event hosted by the Hells Angels on the beach in Ventura. A few years ago the entertainment was Styx, Greg Alman and Paul Rogers. I had the pleasure of meeting and hanging out with him backstage and I have to say I've never met a nicer guy.
As to other bands that have changed singers successfully, AC/DC comes to mind as well as Journey. It's not Journey without Steve Perry but still a decent band.
On the same subject Deep Purple will never be Deep Purple without Blackmore. As good a guitarist as Steve Moorse is, Ritchie just set the bar far too high for anyone to even come close.

That does make sense. And it's true.
