Freddie probably would have taken the role he was offered in "Time" when Cliff left the show, then who knows what else, more theatre roles, soundtrack work, opera stuff, movie cameos (all singers do movies at some point)? Brian and Roger would have a couple of solo albums, toured with their respective bands and shared John Deacon between them in a custody arrangement when touring. I want it all and Headlong would still released but as Brain solo songs, three singles from the "Brian May Solo album from and produced by Brian May" along with 'Driven by You' from the car advert. The world would be spared the horror of hearing Freddies "delilah" and instead get an album of cover songs in 1988 from Freddie that include Tom Jones' Delilah and The Great Pretender. He would duet with Aretha Franklin in the early 90's, as this was the style at the time. Elton John would have still recived the crappy tacky painting as a christmas present from Freddie in 1991, but Freddie is alive to give it to him. Freddie would die in a horrible fellatio related accident in 1996, and the timeline from there would probably match ours.

Tina Turner who was known for her live energetic performances just like Freddie was, retired definitely at the age of 61, just because she couldn't keep performing at the level everybody was used to see her perform. By the same pattern and knowing how Freddie felt about himself growing old and not wanting to look silly plus the fact that he was a man of leisure, all of that would have led him to retire from Queen. Brian and Roger would have kept the band in limbo until Adam Lambert shows up in 2009 at American Idol. And the rest is history. Meantime Freddie would have retired to Switzerland, just like Tina Turner did.

Firstly Freddie would not allow it and i am pretty sure about that. Mercury always put Brian in his place when he came up with ridiculous ideas, and getting Lambert to front Queen is the biggest mistake of Brian's career by miles.

Call it what you like but "biggest mistake" isn't the right word, they've sold out the tour for later this year, been selling out tours since 2012 and are having massive success despite you keep claiming people don't like them - you really need to stop believing the same people posting crap on social media over and over, the true feelings are reflected in the fact people still want to see them, when everyone stops going to the shows is the time to tell us it was a mistake.
