David Bowie Plays With the Press - Uncut Brit Awards Press Conference (1996)

On 19 February 1996, David Bowie entertained a room of journalists backstage at the Brit Awards, where the artist had been honoured with an award for Outstanding Contribution to Music. Over a mischievous few minutes, Bowie fielded questions about the break up of Take That, the connection between Oasis and his late colleague Marc Bolan, where and when he learned to walk in stilettos, who designed his outfit, the future of British music in the era of Britpop, and whether he had anything left to contribute to the music world.

The world misses this brilliant, beautiful man so badly. It all went to hell after Bowie left the planet.

[@stephenguppy7882]

Love it, outplaying the press at their own game.

David Bowie, The Man, The Legend , Lives On !

David...la tua voce e' poesia❣️

[@lizracz1957]

What rubbish questions. The press should be ashamed of itself.

[@TimboTravels]

Rubbish answers as well

[@ziggypop8106]

Just facile hacks.

Thanks for posting. Shared.

Apparently, during or just after Michael Jackson's rehearsal, Bowie turned to (Pet Shop Boys) Neil Tennant and remarked: "Repellant" - he wasn't alone of course; Jarvis Cocker famously crashed the stage and disrupted proceedings.

David used to come into our Coffee shop in Windsor years ago, he was always pleasant and down to earth, our Gaggia packed up one day and he rolled his sleeves up, got up a step ladder and sorted it out.

No one is "down to earth" in Windsor

Hah that's a really convincing anecdote 😆

1:10 David Bowie does not want to pay homage to music but to reinvent it. David, I am mostly paying homage to the 80's

[@sabine2442]

Was he on drugs at this time? His hands shaking .

[@Johanson0543]

I don’t think so. He quit drugs and alcohol long before this and he quit smoking too few years later.

[@Stettafire]

Dude, if you think someone is on drugs cus their hands are shaking, I'd love to introduce you to a proper druggie. Sarcasm aside, tremors in the hands are a lot more common then you might think. Most people get it when they're nervous.

[@ziggypop8106]

Oh ffs get a life judgemental tw|ts

[@ziggypop8106]

Shallow, judgemental comments 😝

@@ziggypop8106 No, a serios question. Yes, he took heroin and cocain and more. He died to early and when I watch him at this Video, he is full of drugs- its very sad.
