"Queen’s Brian May Makes Surprise Coachella Comeback After ‘Scary’ Stroke"

Queen Legend Brian May Stuns Coachella Crowd with Surprise Return After Stroke Recovery

Queen’s iconic guitarist Brian May made a triumphant and unexpected return to the Coachella stage in 2025, just seven months after a minor stroke that had temporarily paralyzed his left arm.

The 77-year-old rock legend joined breakout star Benson Boone during his electrifying set, where the duo performed Queen’s timeless anthem, “Bohemian Rhapsody.”

May was dramatically elevated onto the Main Stage, appearing in great spirits as he delivered his signature guitar solo—a powerful moment marking his return to live performance since his health scare. Boone knelt before the guitar legend in a show of reverence, letting May bask in the spotlight during the performance’s climactic moment.

May’s return is a testament to his remarkable recovery, as he played with complete control and confidence. “Please give it up for Queen guitarist Brian May!” Boone shouted, prompting cheers from the massive crowd.

Leading up to the surprise appearance, May hinted at something special in a playful social media post, sharing a photo from a private jet with Boone: “Look who I bumped into — on the way to the fabled Palm Springs... Maybe something will happen?!”

Let me know if you’d like a shorter version, more journalistic tone, or something tailored for a different medium!
