AC/DC first singer was Dave Evans. I'd say the replacement did better.

Tim Stauffel quit Smile, who hired Freddie Mercury, changed the name to Queen and got a movie made about it.

Journey's first album featured Gregg Rolie on lead vocals. Replaced with Steve Perry

Gregg Rolie sang lead om Journey's first three albums, and didn't leave the band when Perry joined.

Replaced as lead singer
