No, David Bowie was not an ordinary mortal. We knew that. But that he, eleven years after his passing, on what would have been his 80th birthday, would find a way to return one more time for one last tour? We hadn't seen that coming.
That he would choose The Moonlovers as a backing band, on the other hand, does not need to surprise. They have been playing for many years like no other almost everything that can be played in better pop music. And that Bowie would politely but accurately ask Tom Hannes to lend him his body during the tour is also not entirely unexpected.
But still. Admit it. Going to watch a Bowie show one more time. With the best of the best from 50 years of brilliant songs. Van Wild Eyed Boy from Freecloud to Lazarus. With world hits and forgotten gems. In an intimate and intense setting. David Bowie. Come. You do not want to miss this.
