Dan Aykroyd took time out from inspiring band names earlier this week to perform as his Blues Brothers character, Elwood Blues, on U.S talk show Late Night with Jimmy Fallon.
Aykroyd has continued to tour as the Blues Brother even after the death of film counterpart John Belushi in 1982, but still TV appearances are rare.
The Canadian actor got a little help from house band The Roots for the performance of ‘Born in Chicago’, whilst dressed in his signature black suit and shades.
