He sang extensive backing vocals on all of Queen's albums.
So did Freddie Mercury. And what does that prove. They both just about sang on the songs they wrote in the early days. Or at least had a verse each.
So as I say..he wasn't or should maybe have said, he wasn't the backing vocalist. I'm right your wrong. So there!
Sorry, Our Lord Omniscient! We forgot you're in Errors&Omissions Team thus you're always right!

Thats exactly the song I was thinking of, and I think he does it better live than in the studio as well. Its his vocal range as well as his guitar talents that makes him such a big loss for PoS.

If anyone is controversial from the list, then Glenn Hughes, I suppose. He actually sang backing vocals only in Deep Purple - and that's not his "Mother band" in the right sense of word. In another bands and projects Glenn sings mostly lead vocals. Therefore I apologize for Hughes' false listing here.

And Is Steve Hackett a backing vocalist? Where?
Ian, I think he did some vocal contributions on Lamb & Wind & Wuthering, although I am quite happy to be corrected. But, in the context of your question, no he isn't. He did, I think, add some vocal textures on the aforementioned albums, but could never be described as a backing vocalist in the context of what you & I understand to mean by a backing vocalist. Accuracy, though, has never been a particular strong point in these polls
He developed a singing voice as his solo career developed, and I like it, BTW.

I was hard thinking of any genesis backing vocals. But now you mention it I seem to remember something vocalish sometimes. I like his singing too and it saves him having to hire a singer all the time.

Well, Steve Hackett was replaced by Tony Banks. And he's undoubtedly backing vocalist in Genesis and lead vocalist in his solo albums (and his voice is pretty good):

Hackett was not replaced by Banks - what is that statement supposed to mean?
And, for your information, Banks primarily sang on The fugitive, an album I quite enjoy, but not, by any means, and by Banks' admission himself, a vocal triumph. On other solo albums, he drafted in guests such as Fish, Jackson et al.

OK, you're right. But he fits to this poll better than his colleague Hackett, alright?

^ No, not really. Neither of them are what I would describe as backing vocalists.
Without being rude, dear chap, you surely must realise by now it is this series of quite basic errors in your polls that annoy people? Why don't you think a little more carefully before you create them? We would rather have fewer polls that make some sense than a pile of nonsense.

To be honest I was being over critical on the Brian May thing. I just don't consider him a backing vocalist in this polls context. Whcich I thought was saying "Lead vocals from someone who doesn't normally sing lead vocals"

Maybe so - I didn't comment on the Brian May post for that very reason, but this doesn't detract from the basic point here, which is the proliferation of inaccuracies in these endless polls.

Did Bill Ward do backing vocals. Are there Black Sabbath backing vocals? I'm not being funny,I just can't place them at the moment.
I remember seeing a Ward interview years ago, in which he said that if he ever sang on a Sabbath album, then the devil would take them all to hell a damn sight faster than would otherwise be the case! I have every Sabbath album, and I struggle to think of any such instance, although, as ever, I am happy to be corrected.
