If Freddie Mercury is up there watching this little piano-playing sensation, he would be so very proud.

Heartwarming footage shows a blind seven-year-old boy performing a wonderful version of Bohemian Rhapsody - from start to finish.

Avett Ray Maness, from Centerville, Ohio, is seen sitting on his little piano stool and exclaiming: 'Hello guys. Today, I'm going to be playing you Bohemian Rhapsody, and it goes like this.'

And then, actually looking like a mini Elton John in his glasses, he begins his 6 minute 45 second musical odyssey - his head barely peeping over the piano keys.


Avett Ray, who is blind in his left eye, and has limited vision in his right, works his way effortlessly through every section of the classic Queen song, which appeared on the band's 1975 album A Night At The Opera.
