« David Bowie was a masterLangdon said in a statement. It is impossible to put into words everything he taught me. I am very happy to be able to honor MB and to be part of this huge celebration of her life and work with these world-class musicians and all who, like me, feel her living and vital energy around them, as she l was then and always will be. »
The group will consist of bassist Angeline Saris, drummer Michael Urbano, saxophonist Ron Dziubla and guitarist Scrote (Angelo Bundini), who put together the first tour Celebrating David Bowie in 2017 and produced this one alongside Miles Copeland.
« One of the things we’re doing differently on this tour is offering a three-guitar attackexplains Scrote to Rolling Stone. David has always been famous for his guitar spectaculars: the epic solos of Mick Ronson, the bluesy edge of Earl Slick, the funky edge of Carlos Alomar and Nile Rodgers, the bombast of Reeves Gabrels and the otherworldly guitar of ‘Adrian Belew, who remains one of the most original guitarists today. To explore all the guitar facets of Bowie’s songs, we’ll highlight Adrian’s genius, Todd’s guitar magic, and everything in between I can find. »
The tour will take place across America a few weeks following the theatrical release of Bret Morgen’s long-awaited documentary, Moonage Daydream. This documentary brings together footage from Bowie’s entire career, most of which has never been seen by the public. Morgen has worked there throughout the pandemic.
« Bowie was the best quarantine companion anyone might havehas he recently declared to Rolling Stone. I’m on my own, trying to do this on my own… and yet, I’m making a film regarding an artist whose very essence is knowing how to be creative during times of isolation. This comes up in every phase, from Ziggy To Blackstar. I didn’t see anyone for the first few months of the pandemic, but I saw David’s face every day when I got up to go to work. It was almost as if it was meant to be a work of art regarding the pandemic ».
