Not far off I'd say. I was lucky enough to see Queen 3 times and every time he was brilliant

I'm not sure who would come a close second. He's just out there on his own

Probably

Saw them in 1986 at Maine Road - manchester city's ground

Every concert of every band I saw after that was poor in comparison

Queen ruined the rest of my concert going days

Apart from Paul Rodgers who played with queen on a couple of tours.

Freddie was great, not my type of music at all but I love a good few of their songs.

Didn't he do a few solo songs? "Living on my own" comes to mind .

Jokes aside. Elvis, Michael Jackson, dressy Mercury and Robbie Williams are the top 4 showmen. Each one was king of the music industry for a decade atleast and are still popular now.

Sad to say I never saw Queen in concert, wish I would have because I heard Freddie was a showman. May he be in Heaven singing and jamming with all the greats.

Ok, I can't judge then as I have never seen one of his shows. I saw him do a few songs live once at an Ian Dury memorial concert and he was quite good.

Freddie, elvis, daltry, jagger, Jackson, and yes, Robbie as a showman is is up there with them. All great in different ways.

Ian Dury was a decent front man but was never better than his contemporys like lee Brillo of dr feelgood.
