Last night, some of the many musicians inspired by David Bowie joined forces to celebrate the Thin White Duke.
Curated and hosted by Bowie’s longtime collaborator Mike Garson, A Bowie Celebration: Just For One Day! was highlighted by Smashing Pumpkins’ Billy Corgan singing “Space Oddity” and Trent Reznor, joined by his Nine Inch Nails bandmate Atticus Ross and wife Mariqueen Maandig, taking on “Fantastic Voyage” and “Fashion.” Garson accompanied each performance on piano.
The event also saw Duran Duran cover “5 Years,” Adam Lambert sing “Starman,” Boy George take on an Aladdin Sane medley, and Yungblud cover “Life on Mars.” Watch those videos and see a full set list below.
