Benson Boone made his Coachella debut over the weekend with a high-energy set that ended in a legendary surprise—Queen guitarist Brian May joining him onstage. The rock icon appeared for an encore performance of “Bohemian Rhapsody” and stayed to play Boone’s hit ‘Beautiful Things’. But while the moment was historic, Boone joked that the crowd didn’t quite get it. “Me trying to get the Coachella crowd to understand what an absolute legend Brian May is,” he wrote in a TikTok reenactment. Boone later called May “one of the most legendary musicians of all time” in an Instagram post. May later returned the praise, calling Boone a “truly golden 22-year-old prodigy”.
