Some quotes from the Guardian.

Roger Taylor, the group’s drummer, said yesterday he was staggered by the news. Speaking from Lisbon, the latest leg of Queen’s European stadium tour, he said: “We were always incredibly ambitious. But we never expected to see a list that read Queen, then the Beatles, then Elvis.”

“We never thought we would tour again,” said Taylor. “Paul came along by chance and we seemed to have a chemistry. Paul is just such a great singer. He’s not trying to be Freddie.”
