That Time David Lee Roth Showed Up At Coachella

Coachella is happening now in Indio, California, and that means we’re officially in music festival season. Pop singer Teddy Swims was one of the big acts that performed Friday. During one of the surprise moments, Swins welcomed David Lee Roth to the stage, and they performed Van Halen’s “Jump.”

Roth is unapologetically himself, and I love it - leather pants, mohawk and all.

Swims also brought out Vanessa Carlton and Joe Jonas as part of his set.

Rolling Stone says of the Swims and Roth performance:

Swims saved the most special guest for last: The final time the doorbell rang, out emerged David Lee Roth, sporting a trademark smile, leather vest, and skintight pants, and sounding fantastic: Swims beamed while the two sang the Van Halen classic “Jump” to each other, imperfectly and charmingly missing the entrance to the second verse and laughing it off. Roth was positively beaming as he stood on the catwalk in the middle of the thousands-strong crowd as the song hit its key-change crescendo, and he had every reason to celebrate: It was clear another generation had learned Van Halen’s biggest hit by osmosis, fist pumping and singing along to the song’s climax.
