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