Coachella 2025 became an unexpected tribute to classic rock when Benson Boone took the stage and stunned the crowd with a spectacular rendition of ‘Bohemian Rhapsody’. What no one could have predicted was the surprise appearance of Queen’s legendary guitarist, Brian May. He joined Boone for one of the festival’s most unforgettable moments.

Boone, dressed in a sparkling jumpsuit and a cape that evoked Freddie Mercury’s iconic style, brought new life to the timeless Queen anthem. Rather than imitating the legendary vocalist, Boone reinterpreted the classic with genuine respect and authenticity, channeling the energy of Freddie without losing his own voice.

Brian May’s iconic guitar solo was met with a thunderous ovation from the crowd, with fans recognizing the electrifying moment as a piece of rock history. At 77 years old, and having recently recovered from a health scare, May showed that his musical prowess is as sharp as ever.

Following the performance, May took to social media to praise Boone, and celebrated their newfound friendship, solidifying the young artist’s place in the world of rock. “I’m proud and happy to say we are now officially pals,” Brian wrote.

American Heart

Before closing his set at Coachella 2025, Boone took a moment to surprise the audience with the announcement of his upcoming second album, American Heart. The album is set for release on June 20, 2025 and is expected to blend pop with classic American rock. It will draw inspiration from legendary artists like Bruce Springsteen, and it promises to showcase Boone’s evolving sound and artistic depth.

The performance culminated with a stunning rendition of ‘Beautiful Things’. Boone was joined on stage by Brian May and a gospel choir that brought an electrifying energy to the Indio Valley. Boone’s connection with the audience went beyond the stage as he leaped into the crowd, further solidifying his reputation as a charismatic performer ready to take his showmanship to new heights.

Social media has been abuzz following the performance. Many fans and critics dubbing Boone “the new Freddie Mercury,” a testament to his captivating stage presence and vocal power. His ability to honor classic rock while bringing his own identity to the genre is quickly making him a standout figure in the music world.
