[@Margie75]

I always thought Gary and David were siblings because they looked similar. Knowing that they were also close friends made watching this tribute to Bowie a real treat. God bless Gary Oldman. God bless David Bowie 🙏🏽❤️❤️❤️❤️💕💕💕

[@Katsem]

scary how much he sounds like Bowie.

[@iminfinite6751]

My fav actor in the world, singing a song by my fav singer in the world. I can die in peace.

[@stevelazarides178]

Good choices as favorite people. Both of the are Fabulous. Fab-Faves of mine too!!

[@BoudicaJ]

Seriously impressed

[@shayeshaye240]

We have already sadly lost David so we better not be losing Gary anytime soon! Oh god no!

[@GaryOldmanWeb]

Thank you so much for this video, fabulous!!!!! The best quality and the longest! :)

[@mjjm504]

im in love

[@anorakthing8968]

I love the fuckers who can't shut their gobs while someone is singing. Great job Gazza!

[@Tony-w5x]

Oldman is too cool.. Sounds so much like Bowie

[@jkxkr]

I think I died and I'm in heaven 🙌🏽

[@yorshpointohh]

COMMISSIONER GORDON CAN SING HOLY SHIT!!

[@joaomjustino]

What do you guys think about Willem DaFoe as David Bowie?

[@joaomjustino]

superknight Well, he would be a good choice, but I think DaFoe would maybe suit best as David because of his skinny face. I mean, he's got the looks.

[@ΔαναηΜπουσιου]

João Marcos Justino if he can sing, why not...

[@movieman593]

I'm stiff

[@darrindlc9513]

stick to acting

[@WattedoeninberlijnNl030]

I never knew Oldman and Bowie were such good friends, until Gary picked up the Brit Icon award for David's family and performed a beautiful speech. I've always loved Gary, and think he and David must have been quite a hilarious duo together.

[@Happichik1986]

What a legend! There is literally nothing Gary can NOT do. A 'chameleon' that can transform himself into any character physically, perform an accent the world over and sing like a rock star! He is my idol for a reason. love you, Gary! :)

[@AlineOldman1]

+Aine Barry That´s so true! :)

[@Louis.Kane_Music]

I was thinking exactly the same... Please, someone tell me... Something he can NOT do!...

[@sara78889]

He's sexy tho. 👌

[@lucid__enigma]

When someone makes the Bowie movie...

[@personthatdoesstuff5911]

+Lucid Enigma I want to agree, but we know oldman is too old, man. ;3

[@lucid__enigma]

+Lonny Le Blanc he'll play the older Bowie! ;)

[@PredatorXTZ]

+Lucid Enigma He could still play the young Bowing. The wonders of make up and movie magic

[@Sea_witch_]

please put Dane Deehan somewhere in between Bowie's biopic :')

[@nickkurtz512]

Get Oldman's agent on the line now.

[@DollFabulousPrincess]

I didn't even know Gary Oldman could sing... This was wonderful!

[@sierrasmom7548]

He's a great singer and actor I believe he did his own singing in Sid and Nancy as well In the 90's

[@rosalind9888]

He seems so broken-hearted losing his friend

[@Claremansonbakes]

Loved Gary Oldman before this but now I love him even more, what talent and what a tribute! R.I.P David Bowie

[@natashaleonard727]

Did anyone else get goosebumps and shivers of delight from those gorgeous high notes he sang at the end? and that vibrato?!?!?!? OMG I'm dying! SO GORGEOUS and super sexy. I LOVE THIS MAN!

[@apple4b508]

One of my fave actor singing one of my fave song of my fave singer. Waow. Just waow !

[@honoramongscars649]

GET THE MAN THE LEAD ROLE IN A DAVID BOWIE BIOPIC RIGHT NOW!

[@sergiojara1760]

Sirius Black ❤️

[@iammikeythepoet]

damn , the two coolest men in the world, david bowie and gary oldman , mASSIVE Love , ps do this band play in england ever , let me know , all good thoughts Mikey x

[@LeahHatherReviews]

One person has disliked this! What type of person dislikes this? R.I.P Bowie!

[@michaelfalconer5089]

Yeah I spotted how much he sounded like Bowie. Also didn't know he could sing so good.

[@rosedaddona4262]

This made me cry because I knew that they really were friends.

[@leahgary1107]

Omg! Gary Oldman can sing it gooooood! 💙💙💙💙💙💙💙 I love Gary Oldman and David Bowie. Beautiful!!!

[@yantisetia1521]

when The Count singing The Duke's song...shivered...thank you for uploading this...

[@rosalind9888]

A true friend to Bowie until the end ..

[@mac_c]

Not only is he a kick ass actor, he’s also a fantastic singer!

[@dbronx347]

Never thought I would see Beethoven sing a Bowie song.

[@Mallratthrift]

or Sid.

[@JonMatt62]

It was a beautiful tribute....to a lost friend; the two went back a long time

[@bwfilmuser]

Wow! I can totally see Gary Oldman playing Bowie in a movie about his life!

[@gpeddino]

If they ever make a film featuring an older Bowie, Gary HAS to play him.

[@aberdeendh]

This is literally one of the coolest things I've seen a while.

[@mactheAnimal798]

One of my favourite Actors singing a Song of my favourite Musican. Gary was one of Davids closest friends.

[@leahgary1107]

This is the most wonderful and beautiful tribute to David Bowie. 🙂💕💚💕💚💕💚💕🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹Thank you Gary Oldman.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@CalVid]

Thanks for listening

[@johnnykalloniatis6350]

he might be just one of the most gifted people on the planet

[@IgorsDeepPurpleUniverse]

Holy shit, he sounds amazing

[@M.C.P.]

Perfect... Just Perfect.

[@tomsawyer8763]

Amazing that people are there, seeing this, hearing this and won't STFU! If Jesus came down from heaven on a lightning bolt LA folks would still be talking about themselves. "I hope this doesn't effect post production of my film..."

[@Solarstar10]

I know right? His voice sounds amazing, but it's incredibly hard to hear properly when people are constantly talking over it.

[@NashaDean]

+Solarstar10 That was bothering me too. The audience was fully engaged in conversation, meanwhile I'm straining to hear Gary's gorgeous voice as well as the lyrics. Isn't there any such thing as a concert where the audience listens anymore?

[@maureenlogan624]

I know! I mean ffs! It’s Gary Oldman singing Bowie very well! They could stfu for a few minutes!

[@nutter1973A]

Love it, Well Done Gary. RIP David Bowie

[@ebrena1]

Of course I never knew Bowie but always knew he was among us until that final day. You could feel his spirit is no longer here-you just know we were so fortunate to have him for as long as we did. He seemed kind, funny, sexy & an outstanding performer for all that he will be missed. He is out there sitting on some planet looking down remembering he used to live here. No I'm not stoned-just deep-ha

[@Stormdragonbrisvagas]

They don't call Oldman "The Mask" for nuthin'!

[@billtaylor4224]

Love Gary and its nice to know he loved David too. What a fine actor, "Romeo's Bleeding", "Murder in the first", "True Romance", "The Book of Eli" the list goes on and on.

[@misselizaweasley]

They were friends.

[@rodrigofarias1681]

Sir Gary Oldman. The Best !!!

[@Walrus81]

Fantastic singer!

[@MichaelBrownmikeiplierREBORN]

Didn't know Jim Gordon could sing!

[@Jane-qv6gs]

The Great Character-Actor Gary Oldman holds a tone very well! Surprised but happy.. One of my favorite actors can sing AND was a near friend of the Legend Mr Bowie.. Great Tribute!! Thes best Tribute along with Springsteen´s Tribute.. RIP David

[@CalVid]

+Janet W You can see Gary Oldman perform again this month in San Francisco. Here are my details. kzbin.info/www/bejne/qnTMl5x8Z76Bgtk

[@Jane-qv6gs]

Cal Vid Thanks Cal:) Appreciate it!

[@TheNewyorker009]

Hey Sunset Boulevard casting director...here’s your Max. He and Glenn have chemistry and he’s perfect for that role.

[@CherryRedBanshee]

Good lord, he is so good. Also I just noticed he looks a bit like my History teacher from my sophomore year...

[@Gothacronica]

Cuando tu actor favorito le hace honor a uno de tus artistas favoritos

[@gabrielaorlando8191]

Gary's so charming and everything, man has NO FLAWS

[@ВасилисаМазненкова]

Почему все разговаривают вокруг?Что за неуважение к артисту!!

[@hollycardinal7100]

when i see this and Becks tribute... I just don't get how Lady Gaga was chosen for the Grammy tribute

[@bunnyzero0]

+Holly Cardinal It's probably because Grammies are about commercialism, not art.

[@iminfinite6751]

+Holly Cardinal Well, this is obvious better, but Gaga do her tribute with love too, she's a pop star and she make a pop tribute. Gary and Dawie have memories, he sing with all those memories and feelings.

[@hollycardinal7100]

+I'm Infinite your right

[@matheusrutledge920]

I didn't know how Gordon sings so well

[@luminalarts]

Now thats how you pay tribute!

[@nickdoubleu5637]

To do a Bowie cover and so well..........by a superb actor......great band too

[@kenzikapture3729]

This is after The Dark Knight Rises where he sings about The Man Who Sold The World At Celebrating (it makes sense from the conclusion of the film, Batman was the one who sold the world to make it a better place)

[@rosaliehagart7497]

Brilliant. Thanx Gary.x

[@tonibeamsley3832]

Rosalie Hagart I agree he was pretty good :)

[@pumpkins49]

quel bel hommage de mon acteur préféré pour mon chanteur d'amour parti rejoindre les étoiles

[@reedreed8778]

I’m so sad I couldn’t be here to see this ! Thank you Gary !

[@Nevermind2004x]

Now this is an honest and from the heart cover. Bravo Gary. Bravo! No pretentious bullshit there.

[@DIDYOUSEETHAT172]

He plays a mean piano and taught Harry (Daniel Radcliffe) Potter to play bass guitar to boot! 😊😊👍👍⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

[@janiakowska]

j'adore Gary Oldman

[@merlz00]

Always admired Gary Oldman and David Bowie. Gary sounds great singing this song :)

[@gallolocoparisien]

oh! Please! A David Bowie biopic with Gary in the main role !! Make that happen

[@raulalejandrocespedesaliag4318]

Drácula Sing a Jareth the king of gobblins song What magic is this ? 🤘

[@Sindollx666x]

one man I love singing another man I loved work *dies of the awesome*

[@alexanderson1193]

wow, well done Gazza!

[@Slarti]

Not an easy song for the untrained as you have to count the bars in on each verse. Which is fine for a classically trained musician, who is always counting bars in concerts, but for a popular musician counting bars does not come naturally.

[@someokiedude9549]

What can't Gary do?

[@_M_A_S_O_N_]

Gary Oldman - this is ideal cast on cinema of David Bowie

[@wynydis]

I knew Oldman and Bowie were friends... Now I understand why. Astounding tribute !

[@lucaslaino7292]

Ill be the twats talking are talking about how awesome he is.cause i would feel very pissed ig they arent

[@seanod7157]

Love Gary Oldman. Watch "State of Grace."

[@Arrakeen77]

You can really see the hurt in his eyes...

[@AshleyOulton]

Absolutely Amazing !! David would have been so proud!! :) xxxx Well done Gary!!

[@gabrielcornejo238]

Excellent Gary Age hasn't slowed you down one bit

[@evol512]

me a marauders fan :

[@ankitashok2849]

RIP to the man who sold the world

[@zoeyssfischetti4856]

UNFORGETTABLE TIME WHEN I MET HIM ON SAME AIRPLANE SIT SIDE BY SIDE FLEWING TO TRANSILVANIA!!

[@nocturnalrecluse1216]

Flewing?

[@nocturnalrecluse1216]

Transilvania?

[@stanphillips7277]

Check out Gary Oldman...who knew, not me!

[@AlineOldman1]

Love this video, thanks a lot for sharing! Gary rocks :)

[@JustEDGE]

don't trust youtube when they say there's shakiness in your video cause all it does is fuck with the video

[@zackamania6534]

God he HAS TO PLAY BOWIE!

[@jamespatterson5680]

Viktor Reznov when he's not at war.

[@millsbuckss]

It’s actually a screen test for Bowie the Movie

[@mbear1639]

Not bad, Gary! Favorite David Bowue song of all time. Rest in peace, sweet prince.

[@stevelogan895]

This is an antidote for lady GAGA

[@bryannarvaez6319]

Lady Gaga was awesome, it's just that it was too pop

[@tolive8931]

No it was terrible.

[@MoonwalkerKari]

Whatever, but remember - David was Lady Gaga's idol. What could she do?

[@interestingusername1049]

If only the audio quality was better.

[@reedreed8778]

Oh my fucking god ! I love you Gary ! I’m so sad I missed this !!

[@xiploc]

He and David were in the movie Basquiat where David played Warhol

[@DoctorRevers]

Wowee. He should do a whole cover set.

[@deaconsyxx322]

I think I just felt an emotion...

[@wandafischetti1186]

wonderful performance!

[@jeffbuckleylover69420]

ugh i love him

[@leonidassavvides2558]

Oldman once was with Bowie, and an autograph seeker asked for Bowie's autograph. Bowie obliged, but signed “Gary Oldman.”
