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.
I agree that if they had to replace him it was at least wise to go with somebody who wasn't trying to sound like a clone of Freddie. I also agree he has a good voice. It just is a different band to me but with the same name.
