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.
