Queen guitarist Brian May stunned fans with a surprise performance at Coachella 2025, just seven months after suffering a minor stroke that temporarily paralyzed his left arm.
The 77-year-old rock legend joined rising star Benson Boone on the main stage for a powerful rendition of Queen’s iconic hit, “Bohemian Rhapsody.” May appeared in high spirits as he effortlessly played his guitar solo, showing no signs of his past health struggles.
Boone introduced May to the cheering crowd, kneeling in admiration as the guitar icon took center stage. Earlier, May had teased the collaboration on social media, posting a photo with Boone and hinting at a “special moment” ahead.
In September 2024, May revealed he had suffered a “scary” minor stroke, losing control of his left arm. Fortunately, he made a strong recovery, proving his resilience once again—having previously survived a heart attack in 2020.
Fans celebrated his emotional and triumphant return, marking another unforgettable moment in rock history.
