Benson Boone Performs ‘Bohemian Rhapsody’ With Queen’s Brian May and Announces Sophomore Album ‘American Heart’ at Coachella


Benson Boone performed 'Bohemian Rhapsody' with Queen's Brian May during his Coachella debut.

What ensued was a spot-on rendition of the song that’s notoriously difficult to cover, accented by a full choir decked in robes and theatrical lights that recalled that of Queen’s own stage rig. The Queen cover was a half-kept secret, as hours before the performance, May posted a photo of him traveling with Boone on an airplane to Coachella, captioning it, “Look who I bumped into – on the way to the fabled Palm Springs … 💥💥💥💥 Maybe something will happen ? Following an extensive tour and the release of his debut album “Fireworks & Rollerblades,” he celebrated a Grammy nomination for best new artist with a show-stopping performance at the ceremony earlier this year.
