On the topic of Bowie, can we all just agree that this is one of the best live performances of any song ever?

hahaha thanks, DFTBA.

That whole IOW gig looks astounding, making me extremely sad I'll probably see the great man live.....

I've listened to the new album several times. More briliant each time I listen to it. I would definitely put it in his top 10, close to top 5. Just astonishing stuff.

What I love is the way he released the singles. "Where are we now?" is nothing like the rest of the album. He kept the mystery hanging on a bit longer.

Didn't realise he played 5 from station to station at glasto. Such a great set. It will always be the single biggest regret of my gig going life, because I almost went to my first glasto that year. Parents made me stay behind because of exams on the Monday. Douche bags

I was at Glasto that year and missed it as a compromise with the girl I went with at the time! :s

Ended up seeing Basement Jaxx instead!

I'll be going to an exhibition in London at the V+A museum next month where there will be displayed Bowie's costumes, instruments, album artwork and much more. Dead excited!

Interview on Irish radio this morning with Bowie's guitarist Gerry Leonard (whos Irish) saying he doesn't really think he'll tour. He said when they were in the studio the odd time Bowie said "that would sound great live" but apart from that he didn't seem to show any interest.

Time to get the rumours started again!

Nothing is impossible where this man is concerned... I can easily see a few one-off type shows - like Glasto for example (!).

But as for a fully fledged tour of 30 dates plus? Nah. Aint logical.

I just don't see the man risking his health at this stage - irrespective of how well he currently looks and sounds.

From what seemed the impossibly dream, is now the faintest of possibilities. Can you imagine Bowie bowling out onto the Pyramid stage in June to complete the greatest Rock'n'roll comeback of all time. I go weak at the knees thinking about it.

But then again, it is never going to happen, and I'm ok with that

He looks good as for the first time in his life he's actually got an ounce of fat on him.

Stones and Bowie (and Arctics)... that would be the glastonbury gold standard.

STOP TALKING ABOUT BOWIE HEADLINING GODDAMN YOU ALL!

I will buy the hype and become giddy with excitement and then bitterly disappointed on announcement day. Just let me enjoy the Stones announcement and save the Bowie hype for 2014.

BOWIE FOR GLASTONBURY 2014!

[FloorFiller]

it ain't gonna happen at Glastonbury, but that's fantastic news that he's seemingly gearing up for a tour / a few shows at least

[504329lt]

not compared to the 66 year olds I've seen....

show me another one (a 66 year old) who looks any better

***Dream scenario - I realise it's never going to happen

They keep the Sunday headliner as TBC until the day

Bowie struts out................wouldn't that be oh so typical Bowie

Oh dear, she'll be getting a bollocking when she gets home!

Charlie Harper - 68 this year.

He looks awful and ridiculous.

yep, but I guess that's the price you pay for growing old disgracefully.

I'd say it's a fair exchange.

[russycarps]

He looks awful and ridiculous. That's how I imagine Billie Armstrong from Greenday and Blink 182 to look in 20 years time.

[airwaves]

If we got Bowie a la Glasto 2000 I'd be really made up.

If we got Bowie a la Phoenix 1996, urghhh.

Guess problem is that if we got Bowie the new album would feature heavily rather than the hit laden set we had in 2000

[504329lt]

Have you ever seen the UK Subs?

The man is a legend and looks less ridiculous than McCartney who strikes me as a cross between Una Stubbs and Ken Dodd.
