David Bowie

In July 1996, David Bowie performed "Heroes" live at the Festivalpark in Werchter, Belgium, during his 'Outside' tour, supporting the album "Outside" released in 1993. This period marked a significant evolution in Bowie's musical style, blending art rock, industrial, and even theatrical elements. The 'Outside' album was particularly intriguing, as it was a concept album exploring themes of crime and art, showcasing Bowie's artistic depth. It's also notable that this live performance came after his return from a period of creative reawakening, following the less commercially successful 'Tonight' and 'Never Let Me Down.' Bowie's vibrant voice, highlighted in this performance, had a unique power, as he was in a phase of personal and musical renaissance, reconnecting with both his fans and his diverse influences.
