Mick Fleetwood joined the University of Southern California’s Trojan Marching Band on Friday night (November 7) for a halftime performance of Fleetwood Mac’s 1979 hit, “Tusk.” The 78-year-old rock icon even donned a golden Corinthian helmet for the occasion, while playing a drum set alongside the large band and USC’s famous Song Girls cheerleading squad. The collaboration echoed the original recording of the track at LA’s Dodger Stadium with the 112-piece USC marching band, as well as past joint performances including a memorable live show at The Forum in L.A. shortly after Tusk was released, and a featured collaboration on the band’s 1997 live album, The Dance. This appearance preceded Fleetwood’s role as a presenter at the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame ceremony the following evening, where the legendary drummer delivered the induction speech for Bad Company.
