My friend once said "David Bowie always chooses the best and most talented bands to sing with. Any band he sings with are super awesome!" He was right- NIN, Blur, Arcade Fire, Placebo etc etc have all been joined on stage by Bowie, and all are awesome.

[@jidder57]

Bowie defending Blur when everyone was overhyping Oasis is only a proof that he knew real talents

[@carlosito6377]

And the Incredible Freddie Mercury and Eddie Vedder. ..... speachless. ...

That smile on the Bowie's face when he look Brian.... he seems so proud. his look is full of tenderness and admiration. Like a Dad for his son... So beautiful, so emotional... I love them so much ! 2 legends

Bonjour... J'aime Placebo j'adorais Bowie mais connaissant leurs gout je crois que le regard que vous évoquez est plutôt celui que l'on fait après une bonne baise qu'un regard de fierté que l'on pose sur un cadet... Un peu d'humour n'est pas mortel je pense.

Bowie is singing this with such a feeling and passion. I adore this performance and adore how Bowie's voice is heard from the underneath with very distinct vibrations like a voice you would recognize in million voices. This song resonates with his persona so well, it creates a very Bowie-like atmosphere while staying true to Placebo's style and identity. I adore both Molko and Bowie and consider myself lucky enough to be living when I can enjoy this. Absolutely magnificent, gives me goosebumps every time.

[@dianepriore3440]

The great thing about Bowie was he was always happy to experiment, embracing new music styles etc, a humble person who would work with and embrace other artists, This is why he will always be one of the most amazing musicians to have ever graced our earth.

[@cynthiacurrie5589]

David had a deep understanding about other artists. He felt that they were all working on the same platform, which was expressionist Art. David was not in competition with other artists--the more the better, he told us all.

As a child of the 70's, the music of the 80's was incredible. So much variety, all fantastic. Then it got sanitized? Dunno. But never seemed the same. Didn't feel like there was much great in the '90's. I was wrong. Discovering Placebo for the first time in 2021. Feel like I was missing out.

Fantastic. David Bowie recognizes himself in Brian Molko when young. Like his musical godson.. I really think that's the relationship they have. And of course they are great!
