So there are rumours flying around this morning that Bowie is in London rehearsing at Studio 19 in Hackney. That is all the information I have seen on this, it seems unlikely but maybe just maybe he will be doing something for Olympics?

Probably bollox but I love to get suckered into a little hope once in a while

Thanks for this. Very interesting but I personally hope he steers well clear of that corporate, bloated event. Now, if he were rehearsing/recording new material that would be something else . . .

As Bowie would say...piffle!

Of course it will be but I felt obliged to pass it on anyway.

i was going thru google search trying to find something about bowie being in London now and then came across this, db death announcement, obituary, had a look at it, hobby for the sick minded or what?

what a beautiful thread, tell the others.

yes I agree popp -its a terrible thought.

He'd probably pick a place that is suited to rehearsing music.

Hi popp.

That is a perfection description for such a horrible thing to find

So hope its true!!
New material and a uk tour would be amazing!

It would be like Ali showing up to light the torch in Atlanta, without the tremors.

I imagine if they offered him a suitably spectacular appearance fee, he's get down the book with the lyrics to "Heroes".

Think we are all living in hope.
Until i hear and see it then i wont believe it.
He did look great in those last pics we seen from April.
Maybe he feels he can rehearse once again.
would be nice to hear something new.

Sorry, I may be wrong but I can't really see Bowie flying across the Atlantic for this. Though as a 'comeback' he couldn't ask for a bigger stage.

A more well-founded rumour is that a track or two of his could be played at the opening/closing ceremony.

I cannot see him doing a live thing and leaving his fans high and dry (without a seat at the event)?

I think it would be out of character....

Is this for real - just came across it;

'The ladies will strut their stuff in British designs as David Bowie performs his aptly-titled hits Fashion and Rebel Rebel'

Not everything you read on the internet is true.

A lot of it is poop.

-----------------------------------------------
Bisous.

can you imagine? I would hate to see him selling out at this nonsense. Stay retired, underground and invisible and if you do re-surface please do it in an arty not corporate way . . .

with you.

I doubt its true. if it was it would be MAJOR news. Why would he bother with London anyway? For last 20 years Bowie has been a New Yorker not Londoner.

Bowie is NOT going to be at the Olympics

http://www.newstrackindia.com/newsdetails/2012/07/15/194-London-2012-closing-ceremony-set-to-be-musical-extravaganza.html



"A tribute to British fashion will see supermodels Kate Moss, Naomi Campbell, Stella Tennant, Lily Cole and Georgia Jagger strut down a catwalk to the David Bowie songs 'Fashion' and 'Rebel Rebel,' although the singer himself will not be there."


Sounds like its going to be a really lame "extravaganza"

rumour and counter-rumour and tittle tattle - who knows what to think?

so does anybody know if the rehearsal thing was true or not?

Could have nothing to do with anything.

Like as not.

Is a photographic studio. Duh.

Your right .Its not a recording Studio.I think he is getting a new hair style with photos!!

He will always be a Londoner fella, no matter how many years he lives in New York.

halfway thru the gig, something like " and now, 5 words to stir the nation - Ladies and Gentlemen - David Bowie'

ain't ever gonna happen

Although I doubt its gonna happen, I don't doubt he's been approached.

We don't have many rock stars of his stature world wide. Well, not many below the age of 50 anyway.

I'd imagine he turned them down politely.

But I'm not a snob. I'd be blown away if he did do it.

I might even have a bit of a sniffle like I did when Floyd reformed at Live 8 and when Ali lit the torch in LA in 96.
