But you're right, Freddie was the one up front, he had to capture the audience, Freddie had a big weight on his shoulders really, but the band members knew he was the one all eyes were on and appreciated him.

Queen lost a good chunk of it's American audience with their foray in R&B/Disco, which worked well enough for "Another One Bites the Dust" and the rest of that album, but "Hot Space" (1982) was a total flop, and the USA was like "eh; enough of those guys." But they were still HUGE in the rest of the world, and their Wembley Stadium (London) shows in 1985 (as part of Live Aid) and 1986 (on their own) were epic. Freddie was still at the top of his game.
