“We played our songs and felt the London sky…”
On 3rd July, 1973 – with a little encouragement from David Bowie himself – pianist Mike Garson found himself opening what would be Ziggy and The Spiders’ last show on that fateful summer night, by playing a medley of four of David’s most celebrated songs, a medley which included Life On Mars? #4 in the UK chart at that precise moment.
Now, 50 years to the day, Mike will return to that same stage to open the global premiere of the newly restored version of Ziggy Stardust & The Spiders From Mars: The Motion Picture.
Mike will fly in to London specially to perform and will then take part in a panel conversation preceding the screening of the film, which will also be shown in over 600 cinemas throughout Europe simultaneously. Further screenings will also be shown throughout July in the US, Australia, and Latin America.
Stay tuned for further updates shortly.
