He would have been one of the major voices probably both while they were deciding and afterward encouraging this.
Queen didn't exactly replace their lead singer in the same way as Journey, The Eagles or Fakewood Mac.
He kinda …. died. Because he refused to take his AIDS meds. And John Deacon left the band once Freddie died. I don't think it's fair for the rest of the band to stop doing their music because of that.

Just adding my two 0.02 Queen cents.
