He’s done it before! Footage emerges of The Voice’s Andy Dexterity signing Queen’s Bohemian Rhapsody on stage BEFORE the battle rounds – despite saying it was ‘outside his comfort zone’
The Voice coach Boy George chose Queen’s Bohemian Rhapsody for Andy Dexterity and Caleb Jago-Ward, 26, to sing during the battles on Sunday night’s episode.
And while fans on Twitter said the performance gave them ‘chills’, one found it hard to believe Boy George ‘randomly’ chose the song, alluding to the show being rigged.
Footage surfaced of Andy, 35, having already performed the exact same song on stage at a Sydney event back in June, 2017.
