Williams pursued Queen job
The surviving members of Queen nearly invited pop superstar Robbie Williams to replace the late Freddie Mercury as the band's frontman - until they decided he wasn't the best man for the job.
Drummer Roger Taylor and guitarist Brian May claim Williams developed a desire to front the popular rock outfit after recording a version of We Are The Champions for 2001 film A Knight's Tale, and deemed touring with Queen an ideal way of achieving fame in America.
