Pianist Mike Garson, who played on nine of Bowie’s studio albums from 1973 to the 2000s, suggested he would have found music among the many challenges of the year, including the coronavirus pandemic.
The 75-year-old, originally from New York, has been working 15-hour days to bring more than 30 music acts, including Duran Duran, Adam Lambert and Yungblud, together for an online event marking Bowie’s birthday and the fifth anniversary of his death.

Replies to the tweet included a thread from Brian Harding, who produced Bowie’s introduction for the film.
“Hi Duncan! I am Brian Harding, who produced the filming of your father’s introduction to The Snowman,” he tweeted. “You may not remember the history. The Scarf was knitted by the lady in the accounts department of TVC, the production company who made the animation.
“She came onto the set and presented it to David. When filming was over, David asked very politely if he could keep the scarf to give to his son, Zowie.”
