Hans Zimmer Rocks Out on His Birthday With ‘Dune,’ ‘Lion King’ and His Daughter at Madison Square Garden: Concert Review
Hans Zimmer performed music from 'Dune,' 'Lion King' and more on his birthday at Madison Square Garden
The legendary composer rocked the stage for nearly three hours, proving that film scores can captivate audiences just as much as set lists from any other popular artist nowadays, be it Chappell Roan, Linkin Park or Sabrina Carpenter (though Zimmer’s fans skewed a bit more middle-aged — and left the glitter and eye shadow at home). Zimmer and his band started with songs from Jenkins’ DC superhero hit “Wonder Woman.” The stage lights flashed gold, red and blue — a nod to the colors of Gal Gadot’s famous costume — and the violinists’ bows cut through the air like Themysciran swords. Lebo M. then gave a touching tribute to James Earl Jones, the voice of “Lion King’s” Mufasa, who died four days earlier at the age of 93, and led the crowd to sing “Happy Birthday” to Zimmer.
