Rundgren was a recent and buddy of Bowie’s who shared a parallel profession and an analogous perspective on music, even when their materials was completely different. “We shared the truth that you don’t settle all the way down to a single fashion of music and kind of milk it till your profession is over,” Rundgren defined to Billboard in 2017. “David had extra of that Andy Warhol type of sensibility, a pop sensibility. He at all times had a well-cultivated self-image, and I by no means labored that a lot on my self-image. He was a personality everytime you noticed him, and I’m solely a persona once I’m onstage — if that.”
Belew was a member of Bowie’s band in 1978 and 1979, which included enjoying on the double dwell album Stage. He later rejoined Bowie in 1990 because the musical director of the Sound+Imaginative and prescient Tour.

It provides me an enormous thrill to get to honor Mr. B. and to be a small a part of this immense celebration of his life and work with these world-class musicians and everybody, who like me feels his power alive and very important round me now simply because it was then and without end shall be.”
The trek is the brainchild of guitarist Angelo “Scrote” Bundini. Following Bowie’s loss of life in 2016, Bundini organized an all-star tribute live performance on the Roxy in Los Angeles. The occasion went so effectively that the guitarist, together with some shock visitors, held one other Bowie live performance in San Francisco.
Seeing the thrill generated by these exhibits, Bundini put collectively the primary Celebrating David Bowie tour in 2017. Rundgren got here on board for the 2018 version. The upcoming trek marks the third Celebrating David Bowie tour.

To discover all of those guitar sides of Bowie’s songs, we’re highlighting Adrian’s brilliance, Todd’s guitar wizardry and no matter guitar mayhem I can muster in between.”
