David Bowie Keeps Rolling
Though David Bowie‘s first North American tour in seven years got off to a rocky start, the Thin White Duke has lined up another thirty-four dates for its second leg, starting March 29th in Philadelphia.
After spending much of last fall touring Europe, Bowie was to start making his way across the U.S. in early December, but a bout with influenza nixed the tour’s initial dates. The tour comes in support of his new album, Reality, released late last year.
Bowie and his band — guitarists Earl Slick and Gerry Leonard, bassist/singer Gail Ann Dorsey, keyboardists Mike Garson and Catherine Russell, and drummer Sterling Campbell — have worked up a batch of fifty songs from throughout his career, and plan to offer varied set lists. The Polyphonic Spree will open the first fifteen dates, followed by fourteen days with the Stereophonics warming up. An opener for the final five performances has not yet been announced.
