Queen with vocalist Adam Lambert set the Oscars stage on fire with their opening performance. The band started the show in honor of Bohemian Rhapsody being nominated for many awards, including Best Picture.

Damn, was really hoping the #Oscars would just be a 3 hour Queen concert. There’s always next year.
