He started recording carreer 1968 and was already a big star when Queen started. After Free he refused Deep Purple's offer to replace Gillan and formed Bad Co with million selling success. He was a role model for several singer's - e.g. Coverdale (compare some Free ballads with D.C.'s ones).
His voice is bluesy, souly, hard rock at the same time. He became famous due to his VOICE and super masculine appearance at the stage - he did not need any special effects and lights, he just sang.
He also had "raised microphone stand" as a trademark(see e.g. a cover of Free album Hertbreaker and compare with Freddie).
He is one of the greatests, but I am still unsure if his style can be fitted in Queen.
Now THIS is a topic phrased suitably for discussion. Your respectful tone is totally welcome. I think we're all waiting and seeing how the new marriage works out, but that's completely fair. No one can see the future, good nor bad, so it's fool's folly to make damning predictions.
Now the question is, are you curious enough to shell out big bux for tix?

Anyone out there care?
Didn't think so.
Hey, guess what? There are a lot of us who are quite fed up with witless, pissy whiners like you, L-R-TIGER1994!
But I wouldn't bore a message board with such a complaint, under ordinary circumstances... I just felt you deserved SPECIAL RECOGNITION for your "contribution".
Do us all a favor and don't buy tix to the show - no one will miss you and it'll marginally increase the odds of supportive fans actually getting the tickets they want. Every bit helps!
