Queen guitarist Brian May has given a thumbs-up to a music teacher’s classical medley of three of the band’s big hits.
Eshan Denipitiya, 23, posted video last month on social media of “Rhapsody of Queen,” a piano arrangement of “Bohemian Rhapsody,” “We Are The Champions” and “We Will Rock You.”
This week, May shared a clip on Instagram that he captioned: “Beautiful interpretation ! How wonderful that Freddie’s Magnum Opus is still inspiring artists all around the planet … Brilliant stuff.”
The Singapore music school teacher (originally from Sri Lanka) told The Straits Times that he’s been inspired by Queen since he was a child.

“The way they break down all barriers in music, crossing genres to create something that is so unique is one of the main reasons I love them,” he explained.
“This particular arrangement was rather easy to come up with because their music is so rich, and the arrangement almost wrote itself.”
