Adam Lambert is the new lead singer of Queen. He definitely had big shoes to fill to keep up with Freddie Mercury but everyone at the Oscars can tell that Lambert is a worthy successor to Mercury.
The original members of Queen rocked the show - just like they have been doing their whole career. The band performed a medley of two of Queen's biggest hits, the songs 'We Will Rock You' and 'We Are The Champions'.
People who saw their performance were amazed and left enthusiastic comments online. Everybody loved the show and thought it was one of the best Queen moments ever! Adam Lambert and all the other members got showered with praise and applause.
Even though Bohemian Rhapsody has already won a bunch of awards, the Oscars are the most highly regarded awards in the entertainment industry. That's why all Queen fans were thrilled to find out that Rami Malek won the Oscar for Best Actor this year. Amongst others, his competitors were Bradley Cooper for A Star Is Born or Christian Bale for Vice.
Together with Adam Lambert, the band Queen has been performing all over the world since 2011. In 2012, they even had a show at the closing ceremony for the Olympics in London.
The original members enjoy having Adam in their band and might even record some new music with him in the future. Queen fans would definitely get very excited about that!
