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 favourites while delivering the otherworldly guitar playing he is revered for.”A press release states [via Rolling Stone] that the 2023 edition will “interpret Bowie’s greatest hits with a special emphasis on Bowie’s Ziggy Stardust proto punk era, his Berlin trilogy records (‘Low’, ‘Heroes’, and ‘Lodger’) and his later Trent Reznor infused years”.Belew played guitar on Bowie’s 1979 album ‘Lodger’ and was a session.
