Benson Boone channeled Freddie Mercury with a theatrical cover of “Bohemian Rhapsody” during his Coachella set on Friday, which included a special guest appearance by none other than Queen guitarist Brian May.
The tribute began with Boone, draped in a robe, playing the song on piano, before giving way to May for an epic an guitar solo. The duo was also joined by a choir of backing singers and an impressive light show.

Following the performance, May stuck around to join Boone on his set closer, “Beautiful Things.”
Elsewhere during his set, Boone announced his next album, American Heart, which will arrive on June 20th, and debuted the title track. And yes, he did a bunch of flips.
Boone will be on the festival circuit throughout the summer — both in America and abroad. His itinerary includes appearances at BottleRock Napa, New York’s Governors Ball, Louisville’s Bourbon & Beyond, and more.
