Everybody's talking about... The Simpsons has sacked its award-winning composer Alf Clausen after 27 years

Clausen has scored more than 560 episodes of the series, as Variety reports today:

Clausen told Variety that he received a call from “Simpsons” producer Richard Sakai that the company was seeking “a different kind of music” and that he would no longer be scoring the longtime Fox hit.

Tributes have been pouring in from figures in television since the news came out:

The famous Danny Elfman theme tune will be kept, but it seems like another nail in the coffin of the once-great show.
