NASA celebrated a truly historic moment with the landing of its most sophisticated rover, Perseverance, on Mars, the Red Planet. The rover will scout for any signs of microbial life on the planet and collect Martian rock and samples to bring back to Earth for further research. And to celebrate the landing, NASA recruited YUNGBLUD in full David Bowie form.
“It was amazing working with YUNGBLUD and I’m honored that Rolling Live, Mike Garson, and Bowie Band alumni got to play a part in bringing an iconic song to mark this historic moment,” adds Kerry Brown, CEO/Founder of Rolling Live Studios.
“It’s one thing when you get to be called up by an artist’s band who shaped your whole existence,” YUNGBLUD also told The One Show (via Entertainment Daily!). “David will always be my biggest influence, he resonated the idea of be who you are.
“It’s another thing to be called up and told, ‘Yo, your song’s going to be played alongside a landing on another planet.’ ”
Murphy s Law will stream their St. Patrick Day s show. The show kicks off at 7pm on March 17 and is streamed live from the Bowery Electric. That will be accessible via the Rolling Live platform. .

The 40th installment of the fundraising concert series featured Dodgers manager Dave Roberts, Cy Young winner Trevor Bauer, musician El DeBarge, and celebrity supporters like Ted Danson and Mary Steenburgen.
“This is not a backdrop,” WME partner Richard Weitz said of the scene over his shoulder, an empty Dodgers Stadium lit up as if the boys in blue were about to take the field. It looked so picture-perfect that it’s easy to see why someone might assume it was a faux digital backdrop. But not Friday night.
