Uthere is an exhibition that he has made the stage of the coachella vibratebut that, paradoxically, did not unleash the enthusiasm that was expected. The young talent BENSON BOONE has shown great skill, reinterpreting in a powerful and engaging way Bohemian Rhapsody of Queen. But the real surprise came when, at a creepy moment, it is appeared on the stage Brian Maylegendary guitarist of the band. A tribute that should have exploded the public with joy, but which, strangely, was accepted in a warm way.
BENSON BOONE, Tribute to Queen to the Coachella
With its usual energy and a Look that clearly remembered Freddie MercuryBenson Boone faced Queen’s masterpiece with a performance that left his mark. By jumping, singing, and immersing himself completely in his interpretation, the 22 -year -old singer created an atmosphere that mixed modernity and respect for the past. His tribute to the legendary British group seemed to promise an explosion of emotions, but something went wrong.
Brian May’s thrilling apparition
The real icing on the cake was Brian May’s appearance. The guitarist, armed with his historic guitar, literally appeared on stage from a trap door to play together with Boone, giving life to a chills. The public, however, did not react as it would be expected. No ovationalmost as if the young fans of the 22 -year -old American songwriter they had not realized that they were in the presence of a legend of music.
The generational gap: not everyone recognizes legends
The simplest answer It seems to be in the generational gap. Many of the young people probably present they didn’t recognize Brian May or they did not have the context to understand the historical scope of the apparition. Not even the recent success of the biopic Bohemian Rhapsody It seems to have helped to fill the gap.
The fact that, after the performance, Benson Boone himself has ironized on Instagram with an exemplary video, suggests that the young audience of the coachella was not full awareness of the situation: “But do you realize what is going on?”you hear it say in the video that seems to be a reproach to the admirers. A sign that the new generations, despite being a fan of contemporary music, seem a little detached from the icons of the past.
