      It's actually pretty common in music acts that are collaborative. Bowie was extremely collaborative in his music, even covering one of Luther Vandross' songs when he was a back up singer for him in New York the during the Young Americans sessions, full co-credit and everything. Most famously are his collaborations with Trent Reznor.

      70's and 80's were unmatched. But this is something I feel quite strongly about. I'm glad they changed to seating and tickets because it was a ticking timebomb for a mass accident. That vibe of music was breathtaking and timeless but we did the right thing changing to mainly seating

      Diana, Princess of Wales 💎, is alive! Yes, and it’s time the world begins to awaken to this Truth and so much more. Not only is our beloved Princess still with us, but so is John F. Kennedy, Jr., Carolyn Bessette Kennedy, and Lauren Bessette. There’s also a long list of celebrities and entrepreneurs including David Bowie, Elvis, Marilyn Monroe, Michael Jackson, Robin Williams, Steve Jobs, and Whitney Houston.
      So, how does one account for something as unbelievable as this? Well, each person named above, and those whose names haven’t been revealed yet, have their own story, and soon you’ll be learning about it. However, in the meantime, here’s the short version. Each one of these people, at one point, entered into a worldwide witness protection program.
      Wondering what these individuals needed protection from?
      It’s something the likes of which the average man or woman has never been confronted with. Although it may sound funny, each one of us will eventually have a role in the “Big Picture,” too. What is it? We need to respectfully listen to their stories and begin to understand the “as yet, unrecognized threat” that humanity has been living amongst.
      Bottom line is that we must give these brave people an opportunity to tell their stories and face head-on the Truths that we’ll be given in order to protect our families and ourselves now and forever more. Best way for us to complete our responsibility is to have unwavering faith in our Creator, God Eternal.

      The hiv meds caused tne aids. Based on a flawed test for hiv which is something that will never kill. Sound familiar? It gets stranger....
      Anthony fauci also ran that epidemic. Aids started o the disco scene with poppers a solvent that was used there a poison poisons and mal nutrition cause auto immune disease. The leading virologist wrote a book about fauci masking the tests for early hiv treatments by giving the test subjects 6 transfusions which hid the damage of the treatment and made it look like it helped. The book is called aids the deadly deception it's 500 dollars on amazon which would be how aids kills the poor as the poor can't afford to read the truth. When the first hiv treatments were found to be causing aids it was banned I the us and shamefully sold to Africa. Which makes live aid look like us funding that horrific genocidal act of selling aids causing hiv treatments to a struggling nation. The world we live in is full of alternative agendas to what you remember. If all this doesn't seem strangely like the covid bs and how celebs were brought in to influence us in it all grab a kipper and give yourself a good slap

    Queen and David Bowie sets at Live Aid was absolutely beast. Queen definitely stole the show, but Bowie performed right after and held his own. Thomas Dolby was on as Bowie's keyboard and synthesizer. Best 1, 2 performances of both London and in Philadelphia combined. I remember watching live on TV in the US. 2 performers I would have love to see in person... Freedie Mercury and David Bowie. I tried to see Bowie and the Tin Machine at The Roxie in 89 but it was impossible. The Roxy holds about 450 people and there were like 5000 waiting outside to get in. Thank God I grew up in the 80's.
