Garson was Bowie’s longest and most regular band member, having performed together for both David’s first and last concerts in the United States, as well as 1,000 concerts around the world.

Glover, the founding lead singer of The Living Colour, will be performing in Silver Spring, Philadelphia, New York and Albany. Sax legend Liebman will be performing at the New York City show.

This rotating group of world-class multi-instrumentalists will perform a show highlighting elements that influenced Bowie and that, in turn, Bowie influenced: pop-culture experimentation, art, fashion, science and futurism.

The tour will launch on Feb. 10 in Silver Spring, Md., the city where Bowie first set foot in the U.S. when entering the country in September of 1971.
