Photographer Bob Gruen, (who has an already impressive folio of David Bowie photographs stretching back to 1973) has added to his Bowie collection with the picture above.

Apart from lending her vocal skills to some of David’s recent studio work, Kristeen has recorded an album with Tony Visconti whose usefulness at the show went beyond normal production duties.
David had this to say about the industrious Mr Visconti:
“TV played the part of an excellent roadie, humping amps and plugging everything in. Now that’s a producer who cares about his artiste!!!”
