In what ways have they disgraced his legacy? I'm not a huge fan so I don't really know. I do think though that it's a shame for bands who lose a member through unfortunate circumstances... should TLC never be allowed to perform again because Left Eye died? The members of Nirvana not allowed to perform because Kurt Cobain committed suicide? The members of Lostprophets never working again because Ian Watkins committed horrific crimes and has been jailed for a very long time? There are all sorts of moral debates, most of them about respect (either for the dead or for victims) but ultimately a group or band isn't about an individual, it's about all of the members, and if one member can't be there for whatever reason, the others shouldn't be punished for that. So if you're referring to Queen carrying on without Freddie then I don't think it's fair to say they've disgraced any legacy; it wasn't just Freddie Mercury's legacy, it was all of theirs.
