-A Statement From RZ0 Music Re David Bowie-
Contrary to reports in the UK media, David Bowie’s publisher has confirmed that Mr. Bowie is not ‘teaming up with Peter Schaufuss’ to present theatrical versions of any of his musical works.
An RZO Music spokesperson has said, “We have licensed absolutely no material written by Mr. Bowie to Schaufuss. We have never been requested to and we do not intend to.”
The spokesperson also said “We are close to the Walter Tevis Estate and we have and have first hand knowledge that they have not licensed the musical rights to The Man Who Fell To Earth to Schaufuss either.
Further, the advertising for this production appears to be utilising an unauthorised name and likeness of Mr. Bowie and we will seek injunctions, if necessary, to stop their use.”
