Maybe he just wanted to do things his way, with more control over his artistic direction. It could be that simple.
Being a little more clinical could it have been a financial decision. Fronting his own show might put more money in his account, providing he sells tickets.
I've never been a big fan of the Extravaganza, with Marc fronting it. There are many tribute bands who do the whole look but fall short with the vocals, and sometimes the guitar sound. A very small handful pull it off really well.
With Marc the vocals were as good as anyone could be, but the show lacked so much of made a Queen show memorable, even down to Mr Martel's lack of natural showmanship.
I just think if your going to do a tribute with a voice like Marc Martel's in the band the band and production needs all the bells and whistles. I think that the amount of people complaining about the current tour is a reflection of the band just being a band with a singer, who really could be anyone.
Why even have the Queen Extravaganza when Queen tour? And why do they need a few backing vocalists? Did Queen have people on stage doing backing vocals when Freddie was alive?
They were formed by Roger Taylor. At the time Queen had no plans to tour again.
The original idea, I believe was to have a band which could produce the recorded work live, hence originally they had two guitarists and the extra backing vocalists.
I'm not a fan, but they have toured successfully,nth rough the years, and present a different experience to seeing Queen/Queen+ live.

I suspect they'll lose some fans who preferred Marc because he sounded like Freddie but gain some new one's who really don't care about that and just love the music. Remains to be seen if it balances out enough to make it still viable.
