Musical genius comes in all shapes and sizes.
There’s almost nothing more exciting than seeing an extremely talented kid—especially when they play music that seems to be far beyond their years. That’s definitely the case with the young man in this video! The gifted 12-year-old performs a popular Queen song on the public piano in a crowded train station and is even interrupted by a Bernie Sanders look-a-like.
This kid has some jaw-dropping skills!
12-year-old boy nails “Bohemian Rhapsody” on the piano at St. Pancras International Railway Station in London.
Cole Lam is a skilled young pianist, who has already made a huge name for himself on social media by posting brilliant cover performances to YouTube that usually go viral.
At the beginning of this performance at St. Pancras International Railway Station, Cole hops onto the public piano and prepares to play before a man that looks like Bernie Sanders suggests a legendary song.
The Bernie lookalike asks Cole to play “Bohemian Rhapsody” by Queen and the young piano prodigy jumps right into it.
A crowd of people quickly begin to gather around Cole as he starts to play the award-winning song, and it’s clear that the kid really knows his way around the piano. He mimics “Bohemian Rhapsody” perfectly, while also becoming entranced by the music he’s playing.
Cole rocks back and forth while closing his eyes and pounding down on the keys of his piano, playing “Bohemian Rhapsody” with so much passion.
More and more people gather around Cole as he continues to flawlessly play “Bohemian Rhapsody.”
The hyper-focused piano prodigy doesn’t skip a beat, even when he gets to the more complex parts of the song—he easily nails it! This isn’t the only famous song Cole has gone viral for covering, as his YouTube channel is full of incredible cover performances.
This also isn’t the only time he’s gone viral for playing “Bohemian Rhapsody.”
In a heartwarming gesture last May, Cole played the song in a tribute to the first responders in his neighborhood.
Toward the end of his performance at St. Pancras International Railway Station, Cole lets loose on the piano, giving Queen a run for their money.
There’s no stopping him once he gets going on the keys, and seeing a 12-year-old play like this brings some serious chills to your spine. By the time Cole gets to the end of the song, dozens of people have stopped what they’re doing to gather around the young musician.
This performance was outstanding from start to finish, and if he’s already drawing this kind of attention at 12-years-old, the sky is the limit for Cole Lam.
People on the internet went crazy for Cole’s rendition of “Bohemian Rhapsody,” and you won’t believe how many times his performance at St. Pancras International has been viewed.
This video of Cole playing “Bohemian Rhapsody” has been viewed over 58 million times in just over a year.
Beyond that, 838,000 people have also liked it and thousands more have left comments for the up and coming musician.
