Can you hear me, Major Tom? Can you hear me, Major Tom? Can you.... Here am I floating round my tin can Far above the Moon Planet Earth is blue And there’s nothing I can do About David Bowie: David Bowie redefined musical genres and the potential of live performance for generations of music lovers.
