“The cops saved the show”: Busker nails a Brian May solo as officers take down a suspect behind him – and he doesn’t miss a note

Andryel Jung.

Busking is a tough gig, especially when you're playing on a busy street. Distractions are plentiful, and hundreds of people can pass by without even giving you so much of a glimpse. That can be extremely disheartening, but Ed Sheeran's career took off through busking so it's worth keeping your head down and playing on.

That's a rule that Brazilian electric guitar ace Andryel Jung stuck to recently when a swarm of cops tackled a suspect to the ground just meters away from his spot as he shredded Queen's We Are The Champions solo – and the irony of that isn't lost on Guitar World.
