Bowie

[Zoo Music Girl]

David Bowie added to Rumours page! Is this for real?

*has panic attack*

[Zoo Music Girl]

I do apologise!

So why is no one talking about it? Is this just because of that story in the Somerset Gazette?

[Craigston]

....I dunno if anyone else gets Glastonbury memory black holes? 1998 was particularly bad, Bob dylan apparently played? No idea if I saw him or not? Was he any good etc etc

Only virtually all of my first six or seven glastonburys! As for Bowie, caught the end of his set which was superb. For some inexplicable, pill- driven reason we decided to watch basement jaxx. But I DO remember they were particularly strong that year!

I think so. If it gets reported on the homepage then it usually makes it into the rumours doesn't it? To be honest if the three headliners are currently correct then you'd assume the Thin White Duke has already turned it down.

True. Weird that it didn't go up earlier though.

Damn it! I was hoping this was new info.

I stand by humble, UEF is a dick

[iwalker]

I watched him on TV in 2000 and decided I fancied this Glastonbury lark.

Have only missed one since.

[GlastoSimon]

So then.

eFests reporting a 'bidding war' between AEG and Live Nation for a Bowie show next summer. Of course it is from the Mirror, so could be complete bull.

If true and Bowie is willing, anyone reckon we're gonna see a Stones mk.II here? Looks like Glastonbury is the only festival Bowie would really consider

I dont think he'll ever perform live again.

[eFestivals]

the Mirror's story is 100% bullshit.

[GlastoSimon]

the Mirror's story is 100% bullshit.

Sigh.

I have to say I'm in agreement with russy, but there's always that small hope that he might do the fest as a one-off.

[GuitarManDan15]

so why is it headline news on your website? Neil's way of saying its 100% bullshit because he knows the truth

[eFestivals]

1. I personally have no part in what gets published.

2. word that it's bullshit only came to us after we'd published it.

yeah of all papers reporting, don't believe the mirror. from previous the sun is more accurate on things, generally full of shite but on stuff like that they've had good previous info sometimes

Bollocks according to NME - http://www.nme.com/news/david-bowie/72403

Mind you, until recently the idea of new material was also bollocks until the entire album dropped without anyone knowing. So he's always reserved the right to contradict himself.

and long before that I'd told you it was bollocks.

My sources for that it's bollocks are at least as good as NME's (tho I suspect I've gone further in checking it out than they have).

It's much easier to keep a lid on things when people suspect you're retired, now he's got people clamouring for him to tour, it'll be hard to keep any shows or talks about such under wraps.

John Giddings has just tweeted this:

http://www.standard.co.uk/showbiz/celebrity-news/david-bowie-return-hit-by-stage-fright-8794354.html

Which leads me to think Bowie has been made an offer, but doesn't want to say yes, and put himself under Jackon type pressure.

[russycarps]

why would bowie choose to do a shitty little gig in a carpark in east london if he were to make a comeback?

I am 99% sure he'd play somewhere in new york before anywhere in the uk, and who can blame him

I cant imagine any comeback would be governed by money - this isnt the rolling stones we're talking about

[matt2007]

The photo with that standard piece that scottie has posted makes him look like Ian Brown!!!

[LondonTom]

He is one with the Olympic Spirit?

[russycarps]

He is one with the Olympic Spirit?

aye, he showed that when he told them to stick the opening ceremony up their anuses last year

[ads1980]

aye, he showed that when he told them to stick the opening ceremony up their anuses last year

Ha ha ha! Yes that's brilliant

[Thearg]

aye, he showed that when he told them to stick the opening ceremony up their anuses last year

That would of been great to see,chatting between songs with a fag in his mouth.

[The Nal]

IF Bowie played, what are the chances of him not doing half of his average 'new' album?

Pretty good. He did a greatest hits set last time. Like The Stones, hes wise enough to realise a Glasto headline set needs to be hit friendly.

He won;t make the same mistake that Ralph McTell did.
