Hi everyone! Just popping here to say I'M SO EXCITED TO HEAR ABOUT QUEEN AND ADAM PERFORMING ON OSCARS!
I agree! Best news of the year, without question! Now, in MY perfect world (no time constraints) ... begin with WWRY to get them stomping, followed by WWTLF to make them cry (about Freddie), and end with BoRap - after all, it is the name of the movie! A girl can dream, right?

twitter.com/UltClassicRock/status/1097570264739708928UltimateClassicRock @ultclassicrock Adam Lambert tweeted that Queen "will rock" this Sunday's Academy Awards telecast. trib.al/BXC3W1bWith five nominations including Best Picture and Best Actor, this Sunday's (Feb. 24) Academy Awards could be a big night for Queen. In addition to being on hand to collect any trophies it may win for Bohemian Rhapsody, the band, with Adam Lambert, will perform during the telecast. "We will rock the Oscars," Lambert tweeted, including an emoji and the date and time (8PM Eastern) of the broadcast. Sunday's show concludes an awards season that has been very good to Bohemian Rhapsody and its star, Rami Malek, who portrayed Freddie Mercury. After receiving near-universal praise for his performance, he's picked up a Golden Globe (with the film also winning for Best Motion Picture) a Screen Actors Guild Award and, most recently, a BAFTA, which is Britain's equivalent of the Oscars. "Thank you very much to Queen," Malek said in his acceptance speech. "To Brian May. To Roger Taylor. To the entire Queen family. I wouldn't be here without you. And to the greatest outside of them all for being so unwavering and unflinching and uncompromising in every which way. Thank you, Freddie Mercury." Malek is one of the favorites to take home the Best Actor Oscar, although the film is a long shot for Best Picture. It has also been nominated in the categories for sound editing, sound mixing and film editing. If the Oscars performance leaves you hungry for more of Queen + Adam Lambert, they are embarking on a six-week tour of North America beginning in July. You can see all the dates here.

twitter.com/EW/status/1097571318864715781Entertainment Weekly @ew Queen and Adam Lambert will rock the stage at the Oscars share.ew.com/fhtEqzOThis is the real life: Queen and Adam Lambert will rock the Oscars! On Monday, the Academy announced that Queen and Lambert, who has served as the lead singer for the band since 2011, will take to the stage to perform during the Oscars ceremony. Freddie Mercury-biopic Bohemian Rhapsody has been nominated for five Oscars, including Best Picture and Best Actor for star Rami Malek who played the glam rocker in the movie and has already won a Golden Globe and SAG Award for his portrayal. Bohemian Rhapsody also received the Golden Globe for Best Drama Motion Picture. “Is this the real life? Is this just fantasy?” the Academy tweeted on Monday, using the famous line from Queen’s “Bohemian Rhapsody” to tease the news alongside a clip of Lambert and Queen band members Brian May and Roger Taylor performing the iconic intro clapping to the song. “We welcome @queenwillrock and @adamlambert to this year’s #Oscars!” Following a successful world tour from 2014-2018, which included a run of 10 sold-out shows at the MGM Park Theater in Las Vegas in September, the band and American Idol alum announced in December 2018 that they’d be hitting the road once again for a six-week North American tour, adding the success of Bohemian Rhapsody to their appeal. The Rhapsody Tour kicks off July 10 in Vancouver. The 91st Academy Awards will take place on Feb. 24 and air live on ABC at 8 p.m ET/5 p.m. PT.
