A worldwide streaming event to celebrate the birthday of the late, great David Bowie will take place on 8th January, on what would have been his 74th birthday

The global event is set to kick start 2021 off with a bang, with performances from many of Bowie’s great friends and alumni members of Bowie’s bands spanning his 1969 self-titled album through his final album, Blackstar

Artists set to appear include Joe Elliot, Corey Glover, Perry Farrell Grammy-winning singer Macy Gray, Ian Astbury and Lzzy Hale to name but a few.
Newly announced alumni returning to honour Bowie include Grammy Award-winning guitar legend Peter Frampton who was childhood friends with David and was featured on Bowie’s Never Let Me Down album and his Glass Spider tour. Also joining the show is Grammy Award-winning saxophone phenom David Sanborn who recorded on Bowie’s Young Americans album and was featured on his 1974 Diamond Dogs tour. Yes keyboardist Rick Wakeman also joins the special A Bowie Celebration stream on January 8 having played piano on Bowie’s Space OddityHunky Dory and The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars albums.

A Bowie Celebration is proud to announce they will donate $2 per ticket purchase to the Save the Children organization, a charity important to Bowie and the beneficiary of funds raised from his 50th Birthday Concert held in 1997 at a sold-out Madison Square Garden featuring many of the very artists who will be featured on January 8 during this special global streaming event. 

The show promises to be quite special and will kick off at 6 pm PT / 2am GMT, the show will be available for ticket holders around the globe to enjoy live and for 24 hours after its initial stream. With such a wide-ranging lineup of extraordinary talent, the concert will offer over three hours of music, allowing fans to get comfortable at home, grab a drink and sit back to enjoy, reminisce and experience their favourite Bowie songs as never before — performed by David’s friends, bandmates, and those with whom he was the soundtrack to their lives.
