Peter Murphy shares, “Such a surprise to be invited to celebrate Bowie in this outing, and alongside a great lineup. So enticing to play the part." "With such a large catalog to choose from, different songs affect us and the audience in varying measure, offers Adrian Belew. “It's always amazing to feel the excitement of a Bowie audience beaming directly at you. Pure adrenaline! So much love for David."
Scrote (aka Angelo Bundini) partners with executive Miles Copeland to produce the tour again this year. The appearances staged in 2022 were a resounding success across the United States with strong attendance and critical acclaim. CdB creator, producer, and featured artist Scrote shares, "I’m thrilled to honor David again with this new explosive collection of truly unique and brilliant artists and musicians. This new show represents two sides of Bowie. With Peter Murphy, we have the dark baritone shrouded in mystery and wonder. With Adrian Belew, the tuneful tenor gleefully singing Bowie favorites while delivering the otherworldly guitar playing he is revered for.”
Royston Langdon offers, “David Bowie was a master. It’s impossible to put into words quite how much he taught me. I appreciate it. I discovered The Rise And Fall of Ziggy Stardust on vinyl when I was just fourteen. And it gives me a huge thrill to get to honor Mr. B. To be a small part of this immense celebration of his life work with these world class musicians and everyone, who, like me, feel his energy alive and vital around me now just as it was then and forever shall be.”
