David Bowie - Ashes to ashes (live by request)

And yet another live by request video. They seem to be quite popular.

[@humyak]

George just turned 18. He really did like this song when he was only 5.Liked to SING it all the time. Cheers all. KEVIN AND GEORGE IN HOUSTON

[@Alejandrito2332]

Beautiful history. Greetings from spain!

[@corbyuk99]

Always makes me smile watching this clip ... Best wishes from UK

[@UTUBEAHOLIC1000]

+kevin stark , Hi Kevin, This is the Ist song that put me on to Bowie. I was 17 ( 1980 ) and played it on a local pub jukebox. My older work mates bought me 3 beers in the session.Underage drinking not so strict back then in Australia ( almost looked 18 ). I had heard of the name Bowie so I selected this track. I am not surprised that boys aged 5 to 17 instantly like this masterpiece. I smiled when David said Good Night George near the end of this clip. God Bless you both.

[@anthonyd8835]

+kevin stark love you guys

[@sarahm6034]

Did he actually call later?

[@vargaso]

"Hi David Bowie." Haha! So great, only a kid would phrase it like that.

[@mrslovvet]

If I was George I would spend the rest of my life wondering what Bowie was going to say, but never did because of the band starting.

[@joaocoelho5882]

+veritaseros Probably David called later, as he said. :-)

[@alexakrivos]

+veritaseros actrually it is kind of obvious.i think he was surprised that a 5 year old would understand this song.i think that would be his question.why does he like it?probably just the music.

[@danielscissorhands]

+veritaseros Exactly veritaseros. :) So sad that David has died so young.

[@MsFanmail]

George got good taste in music

[@JaySomething]

maybe he said it in the song ;)

[@cateylove123]

Omg I can't get over how cute that was

[@R0blox_Player]

so sweet

[@MoiraRussell]

"Hi David Bowie!" is the CUTEST THING EVER.

[@mariannyhan4930]

He had such charisma. What a kind, talented and handsome man. We will miss you x x x

[@elenachu9932]

I LOVE David's reaction to George's request!! He was so humored. His smile was priceless............R.I.P. Mr. Bowie.

[@Action33184]

my son heard Bowie in my wife's womb through headphones she wore on her stomach while taking naps we wanted him to be awesome... he is

[@kellethomas9812]

Love this. If I was George, I would never stop talking about this for the rest of my life. Lol...what a cutie. Rip David. You were one of a kind!

[@asdspn]

Hahaha hilarious and adorable to hear that little boy request a song about heroin withdrawal. You can see the laughter on that ageless face.

[@dinot4587]

What a talent and a genuinely nice guy. RIP DAVID BOWIE.

[@l0vemusicalways506]

R.I.P David Bowie but know this..your music will live on forever!

[@SJ-gg8fm]

Perfect live version of the most perfect song

[@grunkert]

One of the sweetest Bowie moments, followed by my favourite song. RIP. There will be another one like him.

[@CyPhaSaRin]

+grunkert No other*

[@hbk51385]

I love how at the end he says " night night George"

[@jessfucket]

cause he's one decent, muthafuckin CLASS ACT. Never will be anyone like him.

[@klaustrovian]

With 5 years old kids listening to Bowie the future of music is saved.

[@kaijuhaiku]

Damn, that haunting guitar riff is still killer after all these years.

[@elizabethwindon-bowling1227]

That call was simply adorable! ;)

[@MysticEnforce]

I could imagine the emotion of this 5 years old kid almost crying...could he imagine make a request to David Bowie himself to sing Ashes to Ashes and even call you back later? Only on my dreams...

[@MadMan731]

Back when A&E didn't suck. I miss the live by request shows.

[@ThePhalaeo]

"Dad, what's a junkie?"

[@bkaspe00]

ThePhalaeo ooh ow that’s some heavy stuff right there

[@jeannemask5121]

Funniest thing I ever heard, reminds me of my now 26 year old.

[@JamesOhGoodie]

"Ask your mother."

[@susannabonke8552]

Yeah someone who takes too much chocolate He isn't allowed to.

[@Russnyc4451]

You are Loved by many RIP David Bowie.You music lives on as you do in Heaven.

[@JamesOhGoodie]

- "Hi David Bowie!" - "Hi George!" I like this kid!

[@aliarikan]

I love the look on Bowie's face when he hears George's voice. Everything disappears: celebrity, rockstardom, arrogance - just an old man humouring a wonderful little kid. Love this so much.

[@danielscissorhands]

Rest in peace, David!

[@nicolas-tq3xy]

rip david.

[@vikingmomo]

I'm happy, hope you're happy too! Great line.

[@smmangles1]

Oh I am so sad... Loved you David... condolences to your family... xxxx

[@benmart5]

An original, one of a kind TRUE artist. There will never be any one like him. Never ever. He's home now...

[@mbrent67]

My favorite Bowie song and loved his reaction to the request - RIP sir.

[@TheGunnCat]

These three guitarist are so locked into each other. Some of the finest textured, layered and beautiful guitar I have ever heard.

[@plmccarty51]

What a great guy. I miss you already.

[@daniellewhite4925]

Awesome I have loved David bowie since I was a kid love him and his funky style pop punk glam.

[@senyatirall8459]

This is heartbreaking to watch now. I know something is very wrong The post returns for prodigal songs With blackout harks with flowered muse With skull designs upon my shoes I can’t give everything I can’t give everything Away Seeing more and feeling less Saying no but meaning yes This is all I ever meant That’s the message that I sent I can’t give everything I can’t give everything Away

[@TruthBeTold121212]

He didn't want the world to know he was leaving us...never one for self-pity. Bowie gave his all till the end.

[@MrBugs66]

my daughter just turned ten, and I just introduced her to Bowie. I've been a fan for 30 years...rock on BOWIE!!

[@____Ai____]

the waving when he says night night george

[@kaankaya5273]

I wonder what George felt when he heard David passed away....

[@albablustein]

+Kaan Kaya I wonder the same he was a lucky boy

[@omifishcakes]

Oh hes beautiful! And his music...so amazing!

[@anandadaquino3604]

George, where are you? haha I would beso happy if I was Geroge!

[@susannabonke8552]

Out in space? Or Just in Wisconsin?

[@gisantos2627]

You closed your eyes, take that one last breath and probably said to yourself "my job here is done!" So you left the blue Earth... Thanks for showing me that it's ok be different and that I can be a hero. Somehow you're mine and I'll always be thankful for this. See you in another place

[@thisNewFoundLand]

"...hi David Bowie!" Bowie is pure genius. this is one of my favourite tracks of his. And his album 'Heathen' ranks up with his greatest work. ...let the renaissance continue!

[@JakeLeeProductions]

So much love for David Bowie, i missed all of the 80's because i wasn't born yet, but thankfully his music lasts forever!

[@davorbesic2484]

one of the best world performers on the stage and non voise no toking.....the best performer

[@bluealexia]

David is so lovely when he answer to someone ,in particulary with kids ...another proof of his capacities:lovely man David !

[@thisishowweviewit]

The piano riff gives me chills every time.

[@MaxDevereauxArchive]

"Hi David Bowie!" "Hi George"

[@humyak]

You are right this is a great song. My favorite song for George is THURSDAY CHILD since he was born on a thursday ! GOD BLESS YOU Kevin in Houston

[@rosann67]

What a lucky boy George. David is sooo sweet and adorable!!! What a class act and Legend!!

[@xXmakingwishesXx]

That absolutely amaaaazing so adorable!!!!!!! The look on Bowie face was priceless

[@czaderka87]

That was the sweetest...

[@fruitygarlic3601]

This is probably the sweetest fan interaction in history. George must be one lucky guy now.

[@scottgocek2010]

why do I feel so sad..

[@JohnAAndretti]

Always and forever a gifted an highly talented artist.Truely timeless!!

[@tacoscamp]

The guy was one of a kind, that's for certain. With his passing I am officially almost out of living music heroes. The day Paul McCartney dies I am packing my things and moving to Mars. "Night night, George!"

[@Squaw54000]

Le sourire de David,légendaire😢.Merci ❤

[@mrwhitford1966]

Bowie is the real deal . . . a true class act. God we need him now in this age of crap bands and singers who can't sing. One of a kind.

[@sandraohs_wifeforever]

gonna watch this so many times and pretend he’s still alive tbh, we miss you david bowie

[@gpeddino]

Amazing rendition. His band is so tight and awesome.

[@ringostar8]

That kids dad is my hero, I wish I could have talked to someone as talented as David Bowie when I was five! Might have changed my life?

[@DolphinInTheSunset]

My daughter, 15 at this time, is also taking after mom and is quite the Bowie fan. I guess I was the one that introduced her to David's music. It's also a parents job to make sure your children listen to tastful great music.

[@CSM100MK2]

THIS MAN IS TOO CHARMING TO BE HUMAN. omg .what a soul.

[@travkatz]

David Bowie, when on his game, reminds me somehow of Mikhail Barishnakov. Ashes to Ashes is such a personal song. About addiction. It really hits home. What a true artist.

[@HARDBALLWITHHERMAN]

one of the best live videos ever i've watched it three hundred times at least

[@TheoTuppes]

Louie Louizes Even more watches by myself. 😩

[@vows2bbroken]

this song always gives me a chill..a subtle feeling of the galaxy chipping away into the void. so lovely, thanx for posting this!

[@floppyd0g]

I wouldn't worry. He's vastly appreciated and has influenced anyone who's any good. Most cool stuff can be traced back to him.

[@elisafuentesbriones4730]

touched for the hands of GOD OR NOT HUMAN

[@Erics5th]

Brilliant song, brilliant performance!

[@FruitLooperLove]

"I'll call you later!" awww so cute! :)

[@humyak]

George is now 11 years old now. He never got to speak to David that night; but his manager called the next night and sent him an autographed "Heathen" poster. We both went to his last concert in Houston. I'LL always remember David singing Night Night George !!!

[@Jojos415]

My fav DB song. Rest peacefully

[@callumrocker1]

That kid is far more respected than most of todays teens. There is still hope for humanity!

[@Charleslaw]

Great Artist and a great Group.

[@wayfaringspacepoet]

can't... handle the cuteness in this...

[@NinaG42069]

seriously, this kid George is adorable!!!! What a great thing to be able to remember when he's older!

[@mrhoffame]

That kid will be telling that story for the rest of his life! What a great moment! Oh yeah..Bowie rocked too! One of the greatest artist of our generation. I'm happy. Hope you're happy too"- One of my favorite lines Dave!

[@KimonoSkunk]

I am just so amased at this clip. And it shows how genuine Mr Bowie is with Georgie. I only wished the call wouldve continued. This is the best rendition of Ashes I have ever heard. Bravo.... Kimmyskunk

[@terellewilliams8683]

David Bowie You Will Keep Living On Through Your Music And Movies

[@Yusain19]

David Bowie is DEFINITELY the coolest! And, as you can see by this video, he is most caring and compassionate. And if I had to pick one, I would say this is my favorite David Bowie cut.

[@69millybabe]

my god, how sweet was that, my hero from age of 13, 40 now, still get goosebumps

[@sacomusic]

"Hi David Bowie can you play Ashes To Ashes for me?" LOL!!!!!! Great clip thanks for sharing!!!

[@TheBeatleman66]

[@JacobYellow]

Number one in the charts when I was born and I would still go and see him live. I mean - I would literally main - and kill - to go and see him live. :oD DAVE!!!

[@Ralexand1988]

his facial expression when he said "oh nvm , i'll call you later" is priceless :D

[@JohnLennon100]

[@chelseapoet3664]

One of my favourite Bowie moments ever, not least because I used to sing this to my son when he was 5 and it was his favourite too

[@jackiewilliams4703]

This is such a AWESOME clip thanks so much for sharing this. I love David Bowie. It is a flash back to my not so wasted & incredible youth I'm sitting here smiling & comfy chair dancing. Got to get out there & beat the sweltering heat on my lighter almost day off looking forward to light day Friday. Peace & be well. Have a most incredible day.
