He’s all over your phone scrolling social media. Live in concert and on your TV at home. Benson Boone is having his moment, and he’s always doing a backflip.
The first time I saw him do it was on the Grammy stage off a piano. I was hooked. He finally made me want to play piano, if only to try some amazing new tricks.
While appearing on BBC Radio 1, Benson was asked by a listener, “Have you ever not landed a flip?"
“That’s a great question,” he replied.
Benson explained that he first started flipping when he was about 6 years old. “The first two back flips I ever did are the only two I have not landed,” he bragged.
“Because I’m a big fan and I’m very concerned that you might not land it,” the fan said. “I’m coming to see you in October and I don’t want you in a cast or a sling.”
“I promise you, I’m being safe,” Benson responded.
