Imagine being at a concert, and suddenly, a true rock and roll god walks on stage. That is exactly what happened at Benson Boone’s recent London show. For his final songs, Boone brought out a special guest: the legendary Brian May from Queen. The crowd at the O2 simply lost their minds.
The whole thing started with Boone at the piano, playing the first notes of “Bohemian Rhapsody.” Then, May appeared and the building erupted with cheers. As the Queen guitarist played his world-famous solo, Boone dropped to his knees. It was a perfect moment of a new star honoring a music hero.

After the song, Boone looked at the cheering crowd and made a little joke. He said that is how an audience should sound when they see Brian May. This was a playful jab at the Coachella crowd, who gave May a quiet welcome when he played with Boone earlier this year.
That incredible night in London, sharing a stage with royalty, feels a long way from where many fans first saw Benson Boone. Before he was a global star, he was a young singer from TikTok taking a huge chance on television. He stepped onto the American Idol stage, hoping to impress the judges.
