Danny Elfman performs The Simpsons theme at Coachella
Coachella
Composer and musician Danny Elfman played a rare live set at the Coachella Music Festival on Saturday night and it wasn't just the tunes that had people talking.
The 68-year-old played the Outdoor Theatre late on Saturday evening and treated fans to renditions of some of his best-known scores including The Simpsons, Batman and Spider-Man as well as songs by his own band Oingo Boingo.
Although it must have been thrilling for those in attendance to hear those songs in person, others watching couldn't help but be wowed by just how good Elfman looked at his age as he performed topless with his long red hair and covered in tattoos.
@Todd_Spence on Twitter said: "yes Danny Elfman's Coachella performance was badass, but can we take a moment for his shred and tattoos please. Dude is 68."
