It can absolutely be done, if you put in the work.
Those single note lines that sound so good still follow the chords. If you learn your chords all over the neck you'll be able to play those melodies and still keep the chords going.
Adjust what you do when you're singing too...if you're always bashing out 6 string chords while accompanying your voice, yeah, the bottom falls out when you play something more sparse without your voice. But if you tone it down a bit while you are singing, you can get away with a lot more if it comes time for an instrumental break.
