  British Rock band Queen will open this weekend’s Oscars show according to ABS-CBN News.

  The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences announced on Tuesday  that Queen will be one of the performers at February 24 ceremony in Hollywood.

  For the first time in 30 years, the Oscars ceremony is to go ahead without a host and an opening monologue after the withdrawal last year of comedian Kevin Hart because of past homophobic tweets.

  Queen and it’s late front man, Freddie Mercury, are the subject of Oscar-nominated best picture “Bohemian Rhapsody.” The biopic has taken in more than $854 million at the global box office making it the most successful musical biopic ever.
