Brian May Rekindles Magic with Benson Boone at London Show
In a surprise move that has left fans beaming, Queen's legendary guitarist Brian May reunited with rising star Benson Boone on stage during his recent stop at the O2 Arena in London. The impromptu performance saw the unlikely duo perform an epic rendition of "Bohemian Rhapsody" and Boone's hit single "Beautiful Things," reviving the magic of their earlier Coachella collaboration.
The momentous encounter came as a delight to Boone, who initially met May at Coachella this spring. When asked about the experience in April, Boone expressed his awe and gratitude for the legendary guitarist's appearance, saying he was "still reeling" from the evening. In response, May referred to Boone as a "truly golden 22-year-old prodigy," sparking excitement among fans worldwide.
The London show marked a high point in Boone's European tour leg, which includes stops in Germany, Belgium, France, Norway, and Sweden through mid-November. The singer's recent cancellation of a Birmingham show due to vocal strain was met with disappointment from his fans, but it appears he has now recovered and is back to performing at the top of his game.
The unexpected pairing on stage served as a testament to the enduring power of music to bring together artists from different generations and genres. As for Boone's social media post after the show, which featured an entertaining mashup of "What's Up" and "Beez in the Trap," he captioned it with a cheeky remark: "Guess who's back." The message is clear: Benson Boone has reconnected with Brian May on stage once more, and fans can't wait to see what their next collaboration will be.

! brian may and benson boone are like total kindred spirits 
! i was sooo stoked to hear about them jamming together at the o2 arena in london 
... like, who wouldn't wanna see queen's legendary guitarist shredding with a rising star like boone? 
their performance of "bohemian rhapsody" and "beautiful things" was literally everything and more

on stage when they performed "Bohemian Rhapsody" together. And can we talk about how proud Brian May is of Benson? The guy's always been all about nurturing new talent, and it sounds like he really sees something special in Boone. It's awesome to see these two artists from different eras coming together and making magic happen. The fact that Boone got his vocal strain sorted out just in time for this show is a win-win for everyone! 
Can't wait to hear what other collaborations come out of this unlikely pairing 
. but seriously, this is what music is all about: bringing people together & creating magic. i'm so down for a collab between these two legends! 
. Don't get me wrong, the guy's got some serious pipes and a great energy on stage 
, but is he really ready for this level of attention? It feels like he's been thrust into the spotlight way too fast 
. And can we please talk about how weird it was to see Brian May just drop in with Benson Boone out of nowhere? 
i love how they just jammed together without any prep, pure magic 
now can we get a collab album or something? 
it's like they were meant to make music magic happen together. I'm so stoked for Benson Boone that he got to perform with his idol and I love how excited Brian May was about him too - calling him a "golden" talent is not wrong at all! 
Also, what's up with the mashup video post afterwards? It feels like some dude is trying way too hard to be funny 
.
I think we all know who it is now
