TV Appearances and Iconic Performances
Earlier this month, Boone appeared on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, performing his emotionally resonant new track “Momma Song”. During the interview, he became the first guest ever to do a backflip off Jimmy’s desk.
Benson also delivered a show-stopping performance at the American Music Awards on 26 May, where he lit up the stage with his current chart-climber “Mystical Magical”. That same track featured prominently in his Saturday Night Live debut, where he also performed the album’s lead single “Sorry I’m Here For Someone Else”.
In February, Boone brought the crowd to its feet at the 67th Annual Grammy Awards, performing his global smash “Beautiful Things”, for which he was nominated for Best New Artist. The momentum continued in April at Coachella, where he delivered a viral performance of “Bohemian Rhapsody” alongside Queen’s legendary Brian May.
