The American composer, conductor, and pianist - responsible for writing the scores to more than 100 films including Star Wars, Jaws and Harry Potter - wants to pursue his passion for concert music.
Legendary composer John Williams is putting the final notes on what could be his last film score, Indiana Jones 5, after six decades of spell-binding big screen musical works.
Williams, responsible for the spine-tingling soundtracks to more than 100 iconic films - from Star Wars, Jaws and Jurassic Park to E.T, Harry Potter, Superman, and Schindler's List - has hinted at retiring after turning 90 in February. The musician - who has racked up five Oscars, 25 Grammys and 52 Academy Award nominations - was described by Steven Spielberg as"the single most significant contributor to my success as a filmmaker".
"Without John Williams, bikes don't really fly," the Hollywood director, a regular collaborator ever since he first invited Williams to a lunch meeting in 1972, said.Opening up about a future away from composing film scores, Williams said:"At the moment I'm working on Indiana Jones 5, which Harrison Ford - who's quite a bit younger than I am - I think has announced will be his last film.
