Spectators applaud during the Closing Ceremony of the Olympic Games Paris 2024 at Stade de France on August 11, 2024 in Paris, France with a smaller image of a cloaked guitarist.

The Paris Olympics' closing ceremony was chock-full of star power. However, one seemingly anonymous hooded guitarist managed to steal the show, sparking much online speculation about who it could be.

Now French guitarist Noé Efira appears to have been confirmed as the man behind the mask – and the player behind a searing solo that came right after Cambodian rapper Vann Da's performance of Time to Rise [at about 10.50 in the clip below].
