Benson Boone Slams Lackluster Coachella Audience

Benson Boone made his Coachella debut and had nothing but bad things to say about his crowd. Queen guitarist Brian May joined him onstage for an encore performance of “Bohemian Rhapsody.” And 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.”
