David Bowie’s Band Is Set To Tour Australia This Year

If you’re a David Bowie fan, then you’ll enjoy this.

It’s been just over three years since the influential artist past, and it’s been announced today that his band will be heading to Australia for the David Bowie Alumni Tour.

The band is made up of Bowie’s musical director Mike Garson, Gerry Leonard, Carmine Rojas, Mark Plati and John Lee, all who performed with Bowie throughout his career.

They'll be joined by Living Colour's Corey Glover and Joe Sumner on vocals, with special guests set to be announced.

Speaking about the tour, Garson said “In all the years I played and toured with David, I was asked to play with many dozens of Bowie tribute bands but turned each down because I was able to play with the real deal.

Since David has passed, while it now takes a village of world-class vocalists to celebrate David’s songs with us on tour, the band that’s playing those songs with me are the actual players who played with David.

That’s the main difference between us and other tribute bands out there and this is the only Bowie tour we’ll be touring with.”

The tour kicks off in May and will see the band visit Perth, Brisbane, Sydney and Melbourne. Tickets are on sale from 11 February. For more information click here: http://www.abowiecelebration.com/#tickets
