George Michael performs at Live 8 London in Hyde Park in London, England

Queen fans were devastated in 1991 when the band’s legendary frontman Freddie Mercury died. While many bands disband after an essential member dies, such as Led Zeppelin and Nirvana, Queen wanted to keep going. Nobody could replace Mercury, but some fans had ideas. One person many fans suggested was George Michael, and while the singer did perform with Queen, he never joined the band.

In 1992, George Harrison joined Queen on stage at Mercury’s tribute concert and performed three songs: “These Are the Days of Our Lives”, “39”, and “Somebody to Love”. The concert was a star-studded event and many audiences were wowed by Michael’s performance with the iconic band. Rumors at the time suggested that Queen would ask Michael to join the band as their permanent frontman.
