I took care not to say 'who replaced Freddy Mercury' or 'who filled his shoes after he died' because I agree that no one could ever do so. Freddy was arguably the best male vocalist of our time.

I see you are interested in this topic...here is some info that might help:
[edit] Queen + Paul Rodgers
Taylor, Rodgers, May, in 2006Main article: Queen + Paul Rodgers
At the end of 2004, it was announced that Queen would reunite and return to touring in 2005, with Paul Rodgers (founder and former lead singer of Free and Bad Company). It was also stated, including on Brian May's own website, that Rodgers would be 'featured with' Queen as Queen + Paul Rodgers, not replacing the late Freddie Mercury. The retired Deacon[6] would not be participating; Danny Miranda of Blue Öyster Cult replaced him on bass. Other members of the tour included keyboardist Spike Edney, who played guitar and keyboards in Queen live shows since 1984, and additional guitarist Jamie Moses, who had worked with Brian May on solo efforts since the early '90s.
On September 19, 2005, a live double CD album was released, Return of the Champions, featuring Paul Rodgers and recorded live in May 2005 during the Queen + Paul Rodgers tour at the Sheffield Arena in Sheffield, England. A DVD from the same concert was released a few weeks later.
In March 2006, Queen + Paul Rodgers set out to tour the United States and Canada. This tour, apart from the two United States dates from the first Queen + Paul Rodgers tour, marks Queen's first full-on United States tour since Hot Space in 1982. Queen + Paul Rodgers debuted their first new song, a collaboration called "Take Love", while on the United States tour.
On April 28, 2006, Queen + Paul Rodgers released a second live DVD from their collaboration, Super Live in Japan; the show was filmed at Saitama Super Arena on October 27, 2005 - one of six Japan dates scheduled.
On August 15, 2006, Brian May confirmed through his website that Queen + Paul Rodgers will begin producing a new studio album beginning in October, to be recorded at a heretofore 'secret location'.[34]

So in summary, as so little was done in the name of 'Queen' for a long time, in effect no-one really replaced Freddie until the tour of 2005/06 when Paul Rodgers, Brian May and Roger Taylor shared the lead vocals.

I don't really care about Freddie's personal life, it's none of my business! The thing is Freddie IS a LEGEND, one of the best songwriters & musicians of 20th century, I love him! You know I cried a lot when I realised that he'd died in 1991, because then I was 2 years old. Still I love Queen music! It rocks!

Didn't May step up for the most part, and recently Robbie Coltrane has been.
I'm far from an expert but that name sounds familiar, rent or watch A Knights Tale, he's named in the credits at teh end of the film, as We Will Rock You was featured heavily in teh film.

Sadly, Queen died with Freddie Mercury.

No one has replaced Freddy... no one ever could! The QUeen material that came out after his death was made from his final recording sessions.

I believe that they had Paul Rodgers from Bad Company sang with them for a while, but no one ever officially replaced him.
