Electrician-Turned-Music Teacher Becomes Rock God On 'America's Got Talent'

John Wines said he kept waiting for the red Xs of rejection to appear as he performed a guitar solo on Tuesday’s “America’s Got Talent .” (Watch the video below.)

By the end, though, the 59-year-old contestant had morphed into a rock god who wowed the judges and had the audience chanting for more.

“I was not expecting that,” Simon Cowell said after Wines absolutely shredded a rendition of Queen’s “We Will Rock You.”

“You did become a rock star,” Heidi Klum said.

An overwhelmed Wines, an electrician-turned-music teacher from the U.K., was still feeling a little creaky.

“My legs are going,” he said.

Wines’ skills are no secret to his 1.3 million “Old Grey Guitarist ” followers on TikTok.

But his virtuoso audition on television might elevate his profile a bit more. He’ll get another shot, too. All four panelists gave him a “yes” to advance to the next round.
