Version City # 50 - Bruce Springsteen sings David Bowie

Seven days on from the shock of David Bowie's sudden passing, many of us are still struggling to adjust to life in a post-Bowie world. It isn't easy, though of course it's immeasurably less easy for Iman, Lexi & Duncan and right now all my thoughts are with them. So, apologies for my recent radio silence. Normal service, whatever the heck that is, resumes forthwith. 

Here's Bruce Springsteen & the E-Street Band paying their own tribute to David Bowie, with a performance from the opening night of their US tour in Pittsburgh.

Great footage, Mr. S and I'm glad you're feeling better. While David Bowie's passing didn't have an emotional impact on me, I felt badly for my friends who had been touched by his music in a deep and personal way.

Thanks Marie. I think a lot of people were surprised at just how much Bowie's passing effected them. It really did knock me for six.
