Benson Boone is not only a dynamic vocalist, but an equally powerful onstage performer. The 22-year-old singer has been blowing fans away during his performances with his wild, off-the-piano backflips.
The Freddie Mercury-esque stage presence has helped catapult Boone into pop stardom, following the release of his Billboard Hot 100 No. 2 hit, “Beautiful Things.”
“I think I knew after I heard the chorus with production that this could be a really big song,” he previously told Billboard of the enduring hit. “With teasing on social media, and with promoting your music, you never really know what’s gonna go. All I can do is try my best to push it. But I was really hoping this one would go, because I do love this song. And outside of any TikTok video, it just feels like a big change for me — a change in the right direction, that’s more like my other music that will be coming out.”
Following the success of his debut album, Fireworks & Rollerblades, Boone has recently expanded his world tour — which launched in the spring — with additional U.S. dates. He has one week left touring across the nation, before he heads to Europe, Asia, and Australia in 2025. Boone’s September 2024 shows in Australia and New Zealand have been rescheduled to January 2025 due to a scheduling conflict, with upgraded venues to meet demand.
With so many exciting opportunities to see Boone flip on stage in the coming months, we’ve compiled some epic photos of his high-flying backflips at recent shows. Check out the gallery below.
