I didn't find anyting in the forum but I noticed that in the album version of Driven By You on Back to the Light there's a line (at about 1:15) sang by Freddie. Do you know something about that?

Really ?
well, never heard of anyone mentioning such possibility and, as far as I remember, there´s no mention in any of the "specialists" sites about Freddie contributing voacals on this song.
Keep in mind that the skills Brian has building Queen-like harmonies can lead to confusion and make you believe Freddie is there!

On Touch The Sky, Roger sounds quite a lot like Freddie on a "yeeeeeeeeah."
20 years of working with the guy and they're bound to pick up similarities !
I think that's all it comes down to..

After listening to the guy for about 14 years now I'm also starting to sound like him...
Oh, how I wish...:-)

After 20 years as a Queen fan I still can't say if It's Bri or Freddie the one who sings the line "there's been some mistake" on I can't live with you. (At about 1:35 -> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ttrXEKTtOzw). "Maybe" sounds like Freddie, "there's been some mistake" seems Bri. Am I correct?

Another line that comes to mind now is the "uuuuuh why don't you" at the end section of Let Me Live. I believed for quite some time it was Freddie, til I realized it was Brian.

No, you are not Raffy. I'd bet my live on that line sung definitely by Freddie.

That's just Brian singing in harmony in another note

Do you mean the "it's dead ahead of you" line? I use to hear Freddie there as well but it's just a matter of the harmony sounding a bit "Queen-esque" and we associate it with Freddie. For some reason I used to have the same feeling about Roger's Happiness song when he sings "more precious still than gold". That one is 100% Roger, obviously, but there was something in that line that triggered something in my head for some reason.

Maybe Brian making Queen-esque harmonies makes people believe it's Freddie on one section on 'Driven By You', but don't forget that the song was recorded in 1991 - would Freddie have found the energy to do any spare vocals? And furthermore, if that's true, when publishing the Back to the Light album notes, isn't it a dead cert that Brian would have requested that Freddie be credited?

Here are all of Freddie's vocal leaks on other tracks:
There's also quite interesting thing in Radio GaGa about 5:04 when Freddie starts to sing "You had the time" you can also hear completely other line, something that seems to begin with "sometimes.." in the left headphone.
But it's really nothing compared to George Michael's "cars and trains". There are quite dirty things to be heard in the middle of this one :))

Some of those are pretty far-fetched...
But I have to say, 3:10 of Killing Time is pretty convincing.

I had forgotten about Killing Time! Oh man, that's GOT TO BE Freddie... except it isn't him, right?
Pretty convincing indeed.
