Benson Boone brings to Coachella a cardboard by Brian May

A week after singing Queen’s “Bohemian Rhapsody” at the Coachella together with the special guest Brian May, Benson Boone re -proposed the moment during the second weekend of the Festival. But, this time, instead of the real guitarist, the young artist decided to bring May to May May May.

Perhaps to take the audience around the audience, who during the first weekend had not welcomed the presence of the rock legend with particular enthusiasm, Boone joked before the execution saying: “Wait to see who I brought today for ‘Bohemian Rhapsody'”.

When the song began, the performance seemed identical to that of the previous week – Boone, wrapped in a cloak, sang the intro and performed again an acrobatia with jump from the piano. But at the time of the famous verse “I Sometimes Wish I’d Never Born Born At All”, when he turned to welcome the special guest who was going up from the sub -alk, there was no person on it, but only the carton of Brian May. “Brian May!” Exclaimed Benson Boone with enthusiasm, indicating the cardboard, while the guitarist Sus Vasquez, in flesh and blood, played the solo in place of the true May. Further on during the performance, Boone brought the carton down from the platform on the main stage, where the band was located: at a certain point it positioned it above the piano, and then concluded the song by hugging it gently.

Subsequently, the American hit makers said to the public: “I would like to let you know, on behalf of Brian, that he would have liked to be here, but unfortunately he had to take a flight, so we had this idea … and send you a hug”.

The appearance of May al Coachella in the first weekend had marked his return to the stage after the stroke of last year, who had temporarily prevented him from using his left arm. On social media, this week, the guitarist expressed his enthusiasm for participating in the performance, calling Boone “a gift for all of us”.
