Bowie Collaborators Visconti and Woodmansey Plan More Shows

(TeamRock Radio) David Bowie collaborators Tony Visconti and Woody Woodmansey have added additional The Man Who Sold The World shows after the original one-off London date sold out.

They announced plans to recreate the 1970 classic in May, with the assistance of Heaven 17 vocalist Glenn Gregory, Spandau Ballet guitarist Steve Norman and others. Now an additional London appearance is on sale, alongside Sheffield and Glasgow dates.

It's the first time bassist Visconti and drummer Woodmansey have played together since 1971. They'd been bandmates in Bowie's band The Hype before Woodmansey became part of the Spiders From Mars and Visconti turned his full focus on production.

The sticksman says: "I'm genuinely excited - the first set we'll be playing is the whole of The Man Who Sold The World. That's never happened before, although we did do a couple of songs from the album during the Ziggy period. To perform that album with Tony, who played bass and produced it, will be amazing. It's been a long time since we grooved together."
