David Bowie’s “Brilliant Live Adventures” series — a six-part release focusing on the late icon’s Nineties concerts — continues February 12th with its fourth installment, Look at the Moon! (Live Phoenix Festival 97).
David Bowie didn’t really die in January 2016, he just decided that it was time to go back to his own planet. It could be argued then that 1976 sci-fi The Man Who Fell to Earth – in which he played a stranded alien – was more of a documentary really. It follows Bowie as he arrives on Earth looking for a water source for his home planet, which is suffering from a severe drought after several nuclear wars. His efforts get tangled up in human corruption and frailty, and he sinks into despair and alcoholism, which is generally what happens when you try to take natural resources away from big corporations
