NAMES IN THE NEWS : Bowie Will Take a New Direction
David Bowie’s new Sound & Vision Tour, which starts its American leg tonight in Miami, will feature his hits from the 1970s and early ‘80s--and Bowie says this is the last time he’ll perform them.
“After this, I’m through with it all,” he told the Sun-Sentinel in Ft. Lauderdale. “You’ll never hear those songs again. It’s the ‘90s. A new decade. What better way to start out than by cleaning house, getting it out of the way and moving on.”
“I won’t be singing ‘Suffragette City’ when I’m 50.”
The tour, which has already visited Canada and Europe, features all-request shows, with Bowie playing songs named by fans calling a 900 telephone number.
