January 21, 2016

Holy, holy, hold on to anyone, hold on to anyone But just let me be David Bowie

Eleven days later

The whole album, front to back

Just eleven days after David died, Holy Holy came to the House of Blues in Boston and played The Man Who Sold the World — Bowie’s hard-rock, psychedelic 1970 album — from start to finish. Glenn Gregory of Heaven 17 sang in David’s place.

Tony was visibly upset playing these songs.
