The X Factor reveals this week's theme

An official statement has been released by bosses of The X Factor, which reveals the theme for this week's performances. 

The show will be centred around the iconic rock outfit Queen, who were honoured at the recent MTV EMAs with a stunning live tribute, and will also incorporate the back catalogue of this weekend's musical guest, Lady Gaga:

"Our Finalists will either take on some classic songs by the late great Freddie Mercury and Queen, or perform their version of a Lady Gaga hit."

Former X Factor contestants One Direction will also perform on the show and you can watch Adam Lambert's incredible MTV EMAs mini-set with Brian May and Roger Talor from Queen below:
