David Bowie

In July 1985, David Bowie performed at Live Aid, a monumental charity concert held at Wembley Stadium to raise funds for Ethiopian famine relief. At this point in Bowie's career, he had recently released the album "Tonight" in 1984, which had mixed reviews but showcased his continued evolution as an artist. Following "Tonight," Bowie would later release "Never Let Me Down" in 1987. The Live Aid performance was a significant moment, as Bowie was one of the most prominent figures of the era and was celebrated for his innovative contributions to music and culture. During his set, he performed "Rebel Rebel," a song originally from his earlier album "Diamond Dogs," which underscores his lasting impact. Furthermore, his participation in the event brought together a star-studded lineup and demonstrated his ability to engage with global issues through music, solidifying his status as not just an entertainer, but also a humanitarian.
