The viral saga of Queen’s “Bohemian Rhapsody” flash mob in Paris is only getting bigger. Just a few days after the first video spread like wildfire, the latest installment has arrived, pushing the performance’s total reach past 180 million views worldwide.

The new footage captures a magical moment as the Paris crowd, caught between awe and disbelief, quieted to hear Mickey Callisto sing the opening line: “Is this the real life? Is this just fantasy?” His soaring vocals set the stage for pianist Julien Cohen, who masterminded the event, to join in on keys while more singers and musicians appeared from windows, balconies, and the square itself.

By the time 30 performers—including a full choir and 11-year-old guitar prodigy Olly Pearson—were in full swing, the square had transformed into a once-in-a-lifetime open-air concert. Diners abandoned meals, pedestrians stopped mid-step, and hundreds of phones shot upward to capture the scene.

The flash mob was designed as a tribute to the 50th anniversary of the recording of “Bohemian Rhapsody,” a song that nearly didn’t see release because of its six-minute runtime. Queen fought to keep it intact in 1975, and nearly half a century later, the gamble is still paying off—sparking impromptu celebrations on city streets and topping charts all over again.

Cohen shared the video’s latest installment on Instagram, writing: “I’m so happy you guys are enjoying this, my team and I put so much work into making this video, your love and comments mean a lot to me.” Fans echoed that joy online, with one Reddit user calling it “the most powerful street performance I’ve ever seen,” while another added, “The harmonies in the middle gave me chills.”

This isn’t Callisto’s first brush with reviving Queen classics. Earlier this year, his Britain’s Got Talent performance of “Who Wants to Live Forever” drove the original track back onto U.K. charts nearly 40 years after its release. Now, with “Bohemian Rhapsody” sitting in the Top 3 on iTunes U.K., the singer is once again helping Queen reclaim the spotlight.

For Pearson, the flash mob was another shining moment in his young career. Already a standout from Britain’s Got Talent—where he earned the rare honor of two golden buzzers from the judges—the 11-year-old guitarist wowed Parisians with his jaw-dropping solos, proving that Queen’s legacy is already being carried by the next generation.
