David Bowie

In February 1996, David Bowie performed 'Andy Warhol' live in Metz, France, during a time when he was immersed in the promotional phase of his album 'Outside.' Released in 1993, 'Outside' marked a significant return to his avant-garde roots, blending rock with industrial sounds, showcasing his constant evolution as an artist. This live recording captures Bowie in a dynamic phase of his career, where he was experimenting with new styles while still honoring his iconic past. Interestingly, the song 'Andy Warhol' itself pays homage to the influential pop artist, weaving together themes of art and identity—an apt reflection of Bowie's own multifaceted personas. The performance highlights not only his vocal prowess but also his flair for theatricality, as evident with the quirky use of a hand puppet, blurring the lines between live music and performance art.
