The reason why there is gonna be a Queen Family Singalong is that Disney Hollywood Studios is redoing and refurbishing the Rocking Rollercoaster ride with a Queen theme and it's supposed to be complete in 2022 so ABC is getting an early start to promote it with this special. My uncles used to listen to Queen and had many of their records and I also think this special will introduce new fans to Queen since the movie Bohemian Rhapsody came out in 2018

I haven't seen anything confirming that.
