Benson Boone Nails Signature Backflip, Performs ‘American Heart’ Songs in ‘SNL’ Debut: Watch


Benson Boone brought his first-class showmanship to "Saturday Night Live" on May 3, performing songs from his upcoming album, "American Heart."

Making his debut as the musical guest on the long-running NBC sketch comedy series, the 22-year-old pop sensation performed two tracks from his forthcoming sophomore album, American Heart. Following an introduction from SNL host Quinta Brunson, Boone nailed one of his electrifying signature backflips before briefly serenading the actress and comedian with his song “Sorry I’m Here for Someone Else,” which peaked at No. His appearance at Studio 8H follows a standout run at Coachella in April, where he wowed audiences with high-energy sets packed with backflips — and even a surprise cameo from Queen guitarist Brian May during a cover of “Bohemian Rhapsody” on weekend one.
