New York’s a go go…
By all accounts, David Bowie was back in rude health and on top form for the people of NYC last night, as he wowed an ecstatic crowd at Madison Square Garden. He was his normal mischievous self, even making light of his flight back to New York, which must have been terrifying considering the weather conditions.
The audience had its fair share of celebs, including those here on this page who had pictures taken with David backstage by top photographer, and all-round diamond geezer, Kevin Mazur.
Among those pictured here are the very groovy and sharply-dressed Interpol; the strange and lovely genius that is David Byrne; the world’s best female drummer, Meg White the impossibly cool Lenny Kravitz; and that complete bastard, the very ugly Jude Law…
Actually, I think even BowieNetter, Keith “I don’t like looking at blokes” Stevens, would have to agree that Jude is sickeningly handsome…. But, then again, I suppose it’s to be expected, he is a south Londoner. They produce more than their fair share of cool, good-looking gits down there, don’t they David?
