Having a cover song go viral is a rare occurrence for any musician, but going viral twice for performing classics seems almost impossible. Still, that’s exactly what 8-year-old Jesús del Río did after performing a cover of AC/DC’s ‘Back in Black’ on the Spanish competition series, ‘La Voz Kids.’ Del Río first gained worldwide attention last month when he belted out a rendition of ‘Highway to Hell’ on the same show.
Many may have thought Jesús del Río peaked at 7-years-old when he went viral for his cover of AC/DC’s ‘Highway to Hell,’ but a month later the now 8-year-old del Río has done it once again with another AC/DC classic. In the latest episode of ‘La Voz Kids’ which is a spin-off the ‘The Voice’ franchise, del Río stunned the judges, the audience, and those viewing at home with his cover of ‘Back in Black.’ According to Loudwire, the performance was enough to help del Río advance to the show’s final round.
Many online were stunned by the 8-year-old’s performance, with some saying he managed to outdo his first AC/DC cover. While the show will soon be coming to an end, plenty are hoping to hear more from this 8-year-old. If he keeps it up, AC/DC’s Brian Johnson may need to start watching his back.
