Rock band Queen is set to play for Queen Elizabeth II's platinum jubilee concert, as they have been announced as the opening act of Platinum Party at the Palace, to take place at Buckingham Palace.
The international line-up for the event on June 4 also features Alicia Keys, Andrea Bocelli, Sir Elton John, Duran Duran, Sir Rod Stewart, Diana Ross, Hans Zimmer, Mabel and Eurovision singer Sam Ryder.
Queen will perform with singer Adam Lambert. The performance marks a jubilee return for guitarist Brian May, who performed the British national anthem God Save the Queen at Buckingham Palace for the Golden Jubilee in 2002.
"Twenty years after playing the Queen's glorious Golden Jubilee we're very happy to be invited again," May said of the concert. "Then there was a moment when I wondered ... after Buckingham Palace roof where can you go? Well … you will see!"

The concert will have an audience of 22,000 attendees; 10,000 tickets were allocated for the general public and 7,500 to key workers, members of the armed forces, volunteers and charity workers.
The event will not feature an exclusively musical line-up. Sir David Attenborough, Emma Raducanu, David Beckham, Stephen Fry and Dame Julie Andrews are also expected to appear, with both virtual and in-person slots.
Speaking of the bill, a BBC representative said the evening will "pivot around global themes that have been born, or evolved, during the breadth of Her Majesty's reign".
There will also be musical theatre performances, with Andrew Lloyd Webber and Lin-Manuel Miranda working together on a "once in a lifetime project". The casts of musicals The Phantom of the Opera, Hamilton, Six, The Lion King and Joseph and the Amazing Technicolour Dreamcoat are also set to perform at the concert.
The event will have three stages and will feature 3D projections across the face of Buckingham Palace. In the UK, it will be broadcast on the BBC.
British aristocrat Lord Carnarvon, who funded the expedition to find the Tutankhamun tomb, died in a Cairo hotel four months after the crypt was opened. He had been in poor health for many years after a car crash, and a mosquito bite made worse by a shaving cut led to blood poisoning and pneumonia. Reports at the time said Lord Carnarvon suffered from “pain as the inflammation affected the nasal passages and eyes”. Decades later, scientists contended he had died of aspergillosis after inhaling spores of the fungus aspergillus in the tomb, which can lie dormant for months. The fact several others who entered were also found dead withiin a short time led to the myth of the curse.
Trans fat is typically found in fried and baked goods, but you may be consuming more than you think.
Powdered coffee creamer, microwave popcorn and virtually anything processed with a crust is likely to contain it, as this guide from Mayo Clinic outlines:
Baked goods - Most cakes, cookies, pie crusts and crackers contain shortening, which is usually made from partially hydrogenated vegetable oil. Ready-made frosting is another source of trans fat.
Snacks - Potato, corn and tortilla chips often contain trans fat. And while popcorn can be a healthy snack, many types of packaged or microwave popcorn use trans fat to help cook or flavour the popcorn.
Fried food - Foods that require deep frying — french fries, doughnuts and fried chicken — can contain trans fat from the oil used in the cooking process.
Refrigerator dough - Products such as canned biscuits and cinnamon rolls often contain trans fat, as do frozen pizza crusts.
Creamer and margarine - Nondairy coffee creamer and stick margarines also may contain partially hydrogenated vegetable oils.
