82-Year-Old 'America's Got Talent' Star To Rock Out With Drowning Pool

“We’ll see the bodies hit the floor in the pit when we join you on Friday afternoon," John Hetlinger promises.

John Hetlinger, the 82-year-old who wowed “America’s Got Talent” with his roaring rendition of Drowning Pool’s “Bodies,” will once again rock the house – this time with the heavy metal band.

The retired aerospace engineer has announced that he’s “coming to party” with concertgoers at Chicago’s Open Air Music Festival this Friday.

“We’ll see the bodies hit the floor in the pit when we join you on Friday afternoon. See you there!” he says in a Facebook video that has been viewed more than 3,700 times in 12 hours.

Drowning Pool is pulling out all the stops to give the Navy veteran a real rock star welcome, which will include all the alcohol he wants, according to TMZ.

The newfound national treasure will reportedly then join the band for a signing session after their performance.
