Rumour has it Robbie Williams is upset that he wasn't chosen as lead singer on the forthcoming Queen tour. As previously reported, former Free singer Paul Rodgers will front the band when they tour later this year. Concert.com quotes Robbie as saying: "I'd have killed for a chance to sing with those guys backing me. How cool would that have been? I sang We are the Champions for a movie soundtrack and the band said I did a good job."
But
Queen bassist John Deacon is quoted as responding: "I don't want to be nasty, but Robbie is no Freddie Mercury. Freddie can never be replaced - and certainly not by him".
