Queen and their catalog of classic tracks were front and center on American Idol Wednesday night.
Guitarist Brian May and drummer Roger Taylor opened the show by performing a medley of Queen classics with the top 6 Idol contestants. Check the video out here.
Following the medley, the Top 6 Idol finalists each delivered a Queen song as the first of two tracks they would sing during the program.
