Imagine being at Benson Boone’s huge London show on November 4. He is playing the final songs of the night. Then, the singer gets down on his knees. It was a move to welcome a true music legend onto the stage: Brian May from Queen. The crowd at the O2 arena went completely wild.
The two started with Queen’s classic song, “Bohemian Rhapsody.” Benson began quietly on the piano. Then, Brian May appeared and played his famous guitar solo, and the cheers were deafening. They followed it up with Benson’s own big hit, “Beautiful Things,” which also featured a soaring solo from May. It was a perfect pairing.

After the song, Benson looked at the massive crowd. He praised them, saying, “Now that is how a crowd should sound when they see Brian May!” This was a funny little joke aimed at the Coachella crowd from earlier in the year. That audience did not give the legend such a warm welcome.
That London show felt like a special moment, a real show of respect. It was a big contrast to his performance at Coachella. At that festival, the feeling was different. Brian May’s appearance fell flat with the younger crowd. But Benson still poured his entire heart into his set, which included his hit “Beautiful Things.”

In the Coachella video, Benson tells the crowd the song “changed my life”. He sings “Beautiful Things” with so much power. You can hear him pour everything into the chorus, his voice full of grit. Even with a less excited crowd, he gave a performance that felt raw and full of passion.
