Celebrating David Bowie tour returns with new dates, Peter Murphy in tow

Celebrating David Bowie has announced a U.S. tour that begins in April and runs into May.

Peter Murphy will appear on all dates joining Adrian Belew (Bowie, NIN, King Crimson, Frank Zappa, Talking Heads), Spacehog’s Royston Langdon, guitarist Eric Schermerhorn (Bowie, Iggy Pop, Seal), saxophonist Ron Dziubla (Jon Batiste, Joe Bonamassa), bassist Matt McJunkins (Puscifer, A Perfect Circle), drummer Jeff Friedl (Devo, A Perfect Circle) and tour producer Scrote (aka Angelo Bundini). 

They will interpret Bowie’s greatest hits with a special emphasis on the Ziggy Stardust, Berlin trilogy and later Trent Reznor-infused years. Tickets for City National Grove of Anaheim are available via Ticketmaster Friday, February 24, at 12PM.

Peter Murphy shares, “Such a surprise to be invited to celebrate Bowie in this outing, and alongside a great line up. So enticing to play the part." "With such a large catalog to choose from, different songs affect us and the audience in varying measure,” offers Adrian Belew. “It's always amazing to feel the excitement of a Bowie audience beaming directly at you. Pure adrenaline! So much love for David.”

Bundini partnered with executive Miles Copeland to produce the tour again this year.

Royston Langdon offers, “David Bowie was a master. It’s impossible to put into words quite how much he taught me. I appreciate it. I discovered The Rise And Fall of Ziggy Stardust on vinyl when I was just Fourteen. And it gives me a huge thrill to get to honor Mr. B. & to be a small part of this immense celebration of his life & work with these world-class musicians and everyone, who like me feels his energy alive and vital around me now just as it was then & forever shall be.”

Celebrating David Bowie has performed to devoted Bowie fans in 17 countries on 5 continents with superstar guest appearances by Sting, Gary Oldman, Todd Rundgren, Thomas Dolby, Joe Bonamassa, Seal, Perry Farrell, The B-52’s’ Kate Pierson, Ewan McGregor, Simon Le Bon, Gavin Rossdale, La Roux, Def Leppard’s Joe Elliott, Spandau Ballet’s Tony Hadley, Corey Taylor, Ian Astbury, Darren Criss, The Tubes’ Fee Waybill, Living Colour, The London Community Gospel Choir, The Harlem Gospel Choir, orchestras, and a long list of Bowie friends and former band members.
