Fifty years to the day since David Bowie’s last performance as his famous alter-ego, Ziggy Stardust returns to the world-famous Hammersmith Apollo and cinemas worldwide. ‘Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars: The Motion Picture’ is digitally restored (now in 4K and with 5.1 sound) with never-before-seen footage. The full, uncut version of D A Pennebaker’s film includes a performance by late guitarist Jeff Beck. The 50th anniversary premiere will allow fans to relive that iconic night in music history. The film will be preceded by a live Q&A with Richard E Grant, Don Letts, Danielle Perry, Ken Scott and Suggs, and a performance by Bowie pianist Mike Garson. The Q&A, hosted by award-winning editor and Mercury Music Prize judge, Phil Alexander, will address Ziggy’s legacy and pan-generational resonance. Garson will also open the show as he did in 1973, with a live solo piano arrangement of some of Bowie’s best-known tracks.
