Over the weekend, Deadmau5 made a disastrous return to Coachella during a shambolic set at the festival’s Quasar stage on Friday night (April 18). The celebrated DJ was performing as his alter-ego, Testpilot, alongside electronic artist Zhu, with the duo scheduled to perform for multiple hours that evening. Deadmau5 made a spectacle of himself by stumbling drunk around the stage, eventually falling over behind the DJ booth and being escorted off as his set ended early. In a series of apologetic Instagram posts the next day, Deadmau5 admitted, “I dont remember a thing” about his set, while acknowledging that this was “Probably my last Coachella.” “Sorry about last night,” the DJ continued. “To be fair, I felt the first 3/4 was great! Huge shout out to @zhu for introducing me to whisky and carrying my dumb a** till the bitter end. lemme quit smoking, do some fu**en [sic] personal resetting here at home, find my spirit animal, work on some new music, and come back better.” (Variety)
