Mickey Callisto has consistently proven himself a force to be reckoned with in contemporary live music. And Callisto’s recent a cappella rendition of Queen’s classic “Who Wants to Live Forever” at Stendhal 2025 is a vivid testament to his extraordinary vocal prowess.
Throughout the show, the Sunderland-born singer pushed his vocal limits to the absolute highest, and when he hit his signature soaring high notes, the entire hall fell into stunned silence.
Callisto’s performance was more than just technically impressive—it was profoundly emotive, blending precision with raw passion. Fans attending the show and following online were quick to praise the moment.
Many remarked that it wasn’t just his voice, but the way he sang with dedication, passion, and authenticity. Some said it gave them goosebumps, moved them to tears, and made them wonder how such talent isn’t yet a global phenomenon.
The performance also carried echoes of his viral fame, with many attendees noting that they first discovered Callisto through the Paris Bohemian Rhapsody flash mob.
The elaborate stunt involved thirty musicians, including young internet sensations and a full opera choir, surprising pedestrians and diners alike in the heart of Paris—demonstrating the infectious energy and creativity that Callisto brings to every performance.
What makes Callisto remarkable is his ability to channel legendary influences while remaining unmistakably himself. Critics and fans alike emphasize that he is not merely an impersonator; he blends vocal brilliance with originality, joy, and showmanship in a way that captivates any audience.
