“Thanks to the best guitar player on planet Earth”: Post Malone surprises Bonnaroo by calling up bluegrass virtuoso Billy Strings for a pyro-fueled guest spot

Post Malone’s Friday headline set at Bonnaroo was chock-full of hits. However, it was also given a bluegrass twist thanks to guitarist Billy Strings, who joined Malone on stage for a bluegrass-tinged rendition of a couple of Malone’s tracks.

Malone, an admitted Strings superfan, gave the guitarist his moment when the silhouette of Strings and his acoustic guitar, a 2017 Preston Thompson DBA, appeared in the middle of the pyro-fueled rendition of 2017’s Rockstar. Strings proceeded to add his signature bluegrass textures to Malone’s hit track.
