The thread title said 'losing lead singer', so I assumed the singer dies.

How long do you want to ignore this user?

Leader not singer-Glen Miller -Plane shot down over England 1944-Never recovered so far as I know,
Tex Beneke took over.

Avril Lavigne died in 2003 and was replaced with a body double named Melissa Vandella, twenty years later and the music industry is still trying to pretend that Avril's replacement is just some sort of wild fan conspiracy theory.
Fleetwood Mac
The Green/Spencer/Kirwan era is so different than the C. McVie/Buckingham/Nicks era.
The rhythm section is the only part that made the transition.

Might have been easier to start a thread of great bands that still have their original lead singer.
Asleep at the Wheel
Styx and Warrant come to mind in addition to many others mentioned already.
Skid Row had several frontmen after Sebastian Bach left.
Didn't someone replace Vince Neil for a few years in the early '90s for Motley Crue?

Chester Bennington's Son Slams Linkin Park for Replacing His Late Father With New Singer Emily Armstrong: 'You Have Betrayed the Trust' of Fans
Jaime Bennington, the son of late Linkin Park lead singer Chester Bennington, has criticized the band's decision to bring in Emily Armstrong as their new vocalist.
He authored multiple, lengthy paragraphs that highlighted Armstrong's past, referencing her ties with the Church of Scientology as well as her support of Danny Masterson, who was convicted of raping two women and sentenced to 30 years to life in prison in 2023.
Mars Volta singer Cedric Bixler-Zavala and his wife Chrissie Carnell-Bixler, one of several women who accused Masterson of sexual assault, also spoke out against Armstrong. Bixler-Zavalare shared an earlier post he had written this past year on Dead Sara's Instagram page, saying: "Do your fans know about your friend Danny Masterson? Your rapist friend."

Well. This will be interesting.
Weird since she has the support of Chester's wife
she does, as she is in charge of Chester's "share" of LP.wangus12 said:

But there is a vocal minority of LP fans upset about this, and of course social media is exploding with articles.
That said... I have no problem with her. She is cute (enough) and can sing.
Based on the concert the other day, she is a good fit for the band. Just needs to work on her "screams" and the grit component in her vocals.

That shortens this list quite a bit.
AIC, STP, AC/DC, Sublime, etc
Quiet Riot still makes this list. The only reason I know this is because i saw a billboard just today in New Mexico advertising an upcoming concert they are doing with Ratt at a local casino.
The Eagles had Vince Gill in the Glen Frey spot on their last tour.
Although I do not know if they recorded any new music with him.

Perry was a replacement himself.Quote:
Journey: Arnel Pineda replaced some dude who replaced Steve Perry

Judas Priest did it for real.
Gigem314- I see what you did there..... Marky Mark lives.
ACDC has to be #1. Brian Johnson was perfect.
