David Bowie’s camp has confirmed that there will be a live band appearing during the upcoming Lazarus film event. The event is billed as a “motion picture/live soundtrack experience” and will take place at the Kings Theater in Brooklyn, New York on May 2. The band will feature musical director Henry Hey along with keyboardist-guitarist J.J. Appleton, drummer Brian Delaney, saxophonist Lucas Dodd, bassist Fima Ephron, trombonist Karl Lyden and guitarist Chris McQueen. They will play music from the theatrical production of Lazaraus, which ran in London from November 8, 2016 to January 22, 2017. Bowie also made headlines this week when a fan pushed to rename the singer’s hometown of Aylesbruy, England. The fan launched a change.org page, writing: “Following the untimely death of David Bowie on 10 January 2016, a groundswell of opinion surfaced in Buckinghamshire, England, to celebrate his art in a permanent way, in recognition of the strong connection he had with music club Friars Aylesbury,” the fan on his Change.org petition page. “Bowie performed the world debuts of two of the most iconic albums of the 20th Century, Hunky Dory and The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars, at Friars Aylesbury in 1971/72. He formed the Spiders from Mars in the tiny Friars dressing room and referenced Aylesbury Market Square in the first line of ‘Five Years.’ . The Bowie statue will give an enormous boost to tourism in the area so please join us in calling for the town to be renamed Aylesbowie.” Copyright(c) 2018 RTTNews.com. All Rights ReservedLess «
