A night of celebrating the career and the life of one of the most influential musicians is coming to Weston.
Bowie Starman, A Musical Celebration will be taking place at The Playhouse, in High Street on October 13.
The tribute act will be performing David Bowie's catalogue of songs from the start of his career in 1962 to his final years.
The audience can expect to hear the distinctive and original sounds by Bowie such as Lets Dance, China Girl, Life On Mars, Ashes To Ashes, and more music across all eras.
Bowie, who was born in Brixton, started his music career when he was just 15 years old.
He went sold 140 million records worldwide, making him one of the best selling musicians.
His 1969 commercial breakthrough song Space Oddity won him a Ivor Novello for originality and it was the first of many awards during his career.
