That show in 2000 btw is the best gig in 20 years. Anywhere.

Dead right.

I've never seen a crowd that size before or since. It was a mad year that and having him to finish it off was perfect. Took us 9 hours to even get the car moving on the Monday.

Is there even a slight chance he could play this year?

Probably not, although if you asked me about the prospect of him releasing a new studio album 18 months ago I'd have laughed at ya.

You never know.

Oh dear..... current polls suggest thats 45% of Scotland you are talking about.

I really hope I dont meet anyone like you at Glastonbury this summer.

You are a thicko who has fallen for salmonds selfish lies.

Congratulations!

After his comments at the Brits about Scotland wanting to become a proper country he can sod right off.

Like Gary Glitter, his music is forever tainted.

Kate Moss too by association.

If I had a choice between never listening to David Bowie again or Blowing Up Scotland I'd blow up Scotland..... sorry x

To be fair, Russy, wouldn't you be tempted to get rid of the Tories FOREVER if you could- the dream! however I wouldn't like to abandon England and Wales to them, which is why i'd vote no to independence.

However salmond has generously decided I'm not allowed to vote because I don't live in Scotland anymore, despite being born there, in an attempt to fiddle the outcome.

I sort of like the idea of an independent Scotland - interesting to see how it would get on as a nation. However, the reason above is why I desperately hope it doesn't happen.

Independence for Scotland in 2014 totally fucks up the 2015 general election (and probably every general election) for those voting Labour in England. I would possibly emigrate over the border at that point.

The elections in 1964 and 1974 would not have been won by Labour without Scottish MPs and of course 2010 would have been a Conservative majority. According to Financial Times Labour would need a permanent 6% swing in England to replace the Scottish vote.

Now getting back to Bowie I would love to see him at Glastonbury it would make up for him for binning T in the Park when we had to endure the Darkness as headliners instead.

Went to 10 before feeling a bit old for it.. Meet plenty of sound folk from everywhere in he UK.

If this truly was in reverse then this poster would be meaningless to the illiterate, Gaelic-speaking, shortbread eating, ginger, alcoholic indegenous people, all murdering each other and trading vegetables and wood instead of using currency, that's how Scotland would be if we had never taken the effort to civilise you... Actually that's how Scotland is now! What has the union ever done for you? You should go for independence, you're right, it's been a waste of time.*

* All of this is a joke, not serious at all, there's no need for any noble Scots, for whom I have the utmost respect, to get angry if one of their English friends helps them to read this post. We're all friends here :)
