Hans Zimmer to Retire From Music, Start New Healthcare Venture

🚨 BREAKING NEWS 🚨

The legendary film composer Hans Zimmer, responsible for many of the great and memorable scores of the last several decades, has announced he is taking a permanent leave from film music for a greater cause.

The departure is unprecedented for a film composer of Zimmer’s status, but the 60-year-old Zimmer says the influence he’s built up has weighed heavily on him to make a positive impact on the world.

On Sunday, he pledged an undisclosed amount of money to launch a new healthcare venture that aims to utilize body movement and stretching to promote a healthy lifestyle.

Specifically, this new venture will “pull our legs,” according to Zimmer.

Another key focus is the promotion of positive feeling and reactions, or as Zimmer says, “having a laugh.”

Zimmer says he’s committing, through this new venture, to “busting our chops,” “winding us up,” and “yanking our chains," but when asked for further comment said only "Why so serious?"
