I've only seen him sing backup.

Someone who attended the St Louis 77 show says Brian sang the lead on '39 that night, but it's probably one of those concert stories that gets blurred with years (or drugs, or both).
He did sing one lead line on one of those acoustic songs live wembley
Yeah on "Hello Mary Lou" at Wembley he did do the one line, where Freddie went "I don't know the rest fuck it", then Bri took over.
If you consider post-Frederick gigs to be Queen or Queen +, then he sang plenty: Too Much Love, Las Palabras de Amor, Teo Torriatte, '39 (IIRC), We Will Rock You, etc.
Re Seb's post, yes. During the first Q+PR tour Brian sang lead on a number of Queen songs at a hand full of gigs around the UK and Europe
I'm only counting during Freddie's tenure.
Q+PR Tour does not really count as a pure Queen concert as there was no Freddie or John.
I don't think Brian actually sang live with Queen at all? He has a mic, I am listening... I am not hearing anything?! (apart from cold wind blows thing in One Vision)

Funny.
But no - he always sang. Listen to any live tape from 1976 and prior - he's as prominent as the other two.
He varies from 77 onward, but he's always there. Listen to any Somebody To Love, even in 82. Solid three part harmony every time.

Not interested in bootlegs. Is it Brian or the bloke you are stood next to?

Then what is your source of information for Brian never singing live if you're not bothered to listen to the tapes?
Brian's quite prominent in the proshot mix for Hyde Park. Particularly on You're My Best Friend
I think the closest Brian ever got to singing the lead vocals was when he took over for some lines on We Are The Champions during the Jazz Tour to make up for Freddie's shot voice.
Bri did a fantastic job on The Call.
