QUEEN + Adam Lambert Opening The 91st Oscars

On February 24, 2019, QUEEN + Adam Lambert became the first music act ever to open the Academy Awards night in the first year without a show host.

This could have been considered a Global First, but it was QUEEN that was being celebrated thanks to the nominations (and subsequent wins) of the "Bohemian Rhapsody" biopic, and Adam was along for the ride, so we are adding it to his Personal Firsts instead.
