Because of the popularity of Freddie Mercury, it was made clear that Paul Rodgers would not be replacing the former Queen lead singer, who died in 1991 from complications due to AIDS.

When in concert Brian May, Roger Taylor and Paul Rodgers would be helped by keyboard player Spike Edney, rhythm guitarist Jamie Moses and bassist Danny Miranda.
