EDM superstar Deadmau5 played his first Coachella in 2008, and he might’ve played his last one on Friday night. Without his trademark mask, Deadmau5 sometimes DJs under his Testpilot alter-ego. On Friday night, Testpilot and fellow dance producer ZHU were scheduled for an hours-long back-to-back DJ set at Coachella’s newly added Quasar stage. It didn’t work out. As We Rave You reports, the set was cut short after Deadmau5 got visibly intoxicated onstage. After the set, Deadmau5 went on Instagram to say that he doesn’t remember any of it and reports that it’s “probably my last Coachella.”
