Queen frontman Freddie Mercury died of AIDS in 1991. "Under Pressure" can be downloaded in the Microsoft Windows Media format for free beginning December 1st, from windowsmedia.microsoft.com.

It will be issued as single on December 6th, as will the band's signature song "Bohemian Rhapsody."

Mystery Art for Sale - Answers on a Postcard

It might be a masterpiece or it could be worth no more than the paper it is drawn on. That's the risk you take at Britain's annual Royal College of Art postcard exhibition. But at $57 it's probably worth splashing out for what could be a drawing by DAVID BOWIE, Antony Gormley, Maggi Hambling, Brian Eno or Terry Frost.

The exhibition of 2,002 postcards is called ABSOLUT SECRET. The secret is that they're all signed by the artist but only on the back, so you don't know what you're buying.

Students at the college provide most of the pieces but mixed among them are cards by famous artists whose identities will be revealed on December 5 once buying has closed.

"On the surface it's just a fun idea but it also has a serious purpose," said college rector Christopher Frayling.

"While it encourages appreciation of fine art for its own sake and gives everyone a chance to own a masterpiece in miniature, it also helps to provide much needed bursaries for our students," he said.

The money raised, which will be just over 70,000 pounds if the exhibition sells out, goes to a student hardship fund.

"The idea came from the students... they sent out two blank postcards to artists in the UK and waited to see what came back," said curator Diana Charnley.

The idea is to encourage people to buy what they like rather than what is valuable but with such famous contributors the purchase could turn into a nest-egg. The event is always a scrum, with bargain hunters lining up through the night.

"It can get more cut-throat than the January sales, with enthusiasts queuing up the night before the opening and sleeping outside the main door on the street," Charnley said.

The French Canadian show 'Musique Plus' saw DAVID BOWIE and his band perform ten songs as well as him taking on various questions from the audience. Some of the topics covered included: Ziggy 2002, John Lennon, the Sensation art exhibition and The Nomad Soul computer game.

The following tracks were performed:

Modern technology has allowed DAVID BOWIE and FREDDIE MERCURY to star together in a new video, eight years after the Queen frontman died of AIDS. 'Under Pressure', the Bowie/Queen collaboration is set to be re-released in December, with the new video using old footage, to meld performances of the two frontman together.

Check out the live and offstage photographs of DAVID BOWIE at The Kit Kat Klub, in New York City, USA last Friday on 19th November 1999. View photographs via title page. More to follow in the next few days, along with reports from the gig.

Reminder - don't forget the appearance of DAVID BOWIE on the French-Canadian television station MUSIQUE PLUS tonight at 6 p.m. (EST) (11.00 p.m. GMT). You can check out the proceedings live on the 'net via their web cam at www.intracam.com/ and if you want to email in a question to David send to bowie@musiqueplus.com.

The show will be re-broadcast tonight at 10:30pm EST (3.30 a.m. GMT), and the following day at 10.00 a.m. EST (3.00 p.m. GMT).

Well done to the fans who managed to secure tickets for the forthcoming DAVID BOWIE shows in London, Milan and Copenhagen. Unbelievably in Copenhagen, tickets were sold out in three minutes... Milan is also sold out.

London: According to some fans queuing in line at The Astoria on Monday morning it was chaos. The die-hard fans who camped out overnight rightly got their two ticket allocation "sorted". Those who arrived around 7.30 a.m. to queue were about 100 people away from the ticket office but at 10.10am they were told that all 400 tickets were sold. According to some stories, ticket touts/scalpers (some with their children) snapped up most of the tickets and then proceeded to sell them outside immediately. One person I know personally paid £70 and another forked out £125. Something has to be done to stop this - it is illegal after all. See the BowieWonderworld Message Board for more stories. Many of the emails I received yesterday from fans, a few over the moon from managing to secure tickets but the vast majority were left disappointed.

No news or information yet on whether or not tickets will be given away in competitions via BowieNet, Virgin, radio or fan web sites.

Tickets for DAVID BOWIE'S gig in London at The Astoria for 2nd December go on sale TOMORROW Monday 22nd November at 10.00 a.m. GMT, priced £20.

Vinyl fetishist needs to find like-minded people for possible online communication, with common aim of satisfying bizarre craving. Do you, like me, long for the touch and smell of delicious smooth black vinyl......

Yes of course I am referring to the fact that 'hours...' is the first DAVID BOWIE studio album (apart from 'The Buddha Of Suburbia') not to be released on the shiny black stuff. Yeah I know that I should 'get with the programme' and forget all that old stuff, but I can't help myself. I have the two versions of the CD, and the mini-disc, (which has slightly different artwork for all you spotters) how much more modern can one be?

So, what I am saying here is that if you love the feel of a big 12" in your hands, (sorry, it's the Benny Hill in me!) and a bigger Bowie picture for your money, then join in with this campaign to get a vinyl release for 'hours...'

Those smart enough to have snapped up one of the very limited copies of 'Earthling' on vinyl will understand completely what a work of art, and a sensible investment to boot these releases are. But such a limited run is not a particularly viable financial exercise for a record company to undertake, so let's unite to give them a little nudge in the right direction.....

It's simple - All you have to do is e-mail me at:

I will then forward the petition to the relevant record company blokes, easy eh? The bigger the response we get the more likely this is to happen, so e-mail your friends and feel free to put this request up on your very own site, if you have one. People have the power!

DAVID BOWIE really took the air out of Conan's sails, pranking with the audience (he came out between takes, the crowd went nuts and in his best "no, I'm not doing mime" stance, silenced the audience with a single gesture), rolling with the weak jokes Conan attempted and making them huge, and funny... Bowie was on TOP!

The songs were, well, wonderful, and LOUD... loud enough to drown out the crowd, which was no small feat. The obligatory 'hours...' plug was a charming rendition of Thursday's Child, giving glimpses of how the new CD will sound on tour: edgy, with a bit of Bowie's old cabaret style coming through. The mix wasn't spot on, though - the backup singers were louder than the man himself. Gail Ann looked cool and poised and beautiful as always. Frankly, I didn't pay much attention to the rest of them, especially when Bowie took the show out with the ballsiest rendition of Cracked Actor I've ever heard. Such a pity it wasn't broadcast past the opening bars. Bowie crackled with hellish intent as he slammed through the bitter, sexy anthem that thrilled us all as teens, making no bones about the line "suck baby suck, give me some head....".

Damn, he had a good time up there. Absolutely stunning.

See Caz's photographs outside the studios.

DAVID BOWIE and his band played a seventeen song set list for The Kit Kat Klub gig in New York last night.

Wearing a fetching lime green shirt, three songs he played for the first time on this current "promo tour" were 'Ashes To Ashes', 'Cracked Actor', 'Stay' and 'I'm Afraid Of Americans'. Happy Birthday Gail!

Set List:

...DAVID BOWIE has disclosed how his memory has deteriorated after excessive drug use in the seventies. The music legend said that cocaine use left him with "emotional damage" and a memory like "Swiss cheese".

To read more about this click here.

I don't know what happened here but UK newspapers listed that David was to appear on this programme... maybe they are holding back till the London appearance? Hmm.

Quick get your video recorders ready... DAVID BOWIE is to appear on BBC2 UK TV tonight at 11.25 p.m. - 11.55 p.m. on WEBWISE@HOME. Emma B and Nihal Arthanayake report live from the London super club Home. (S) (516277).

Also don't forget to swtich channels at 12.20 a.m. to catch David on UK ARENA Arena People - A Chat With David Bowie.

UK residents can catch up with DAVID BOWIE performing 'Thursday's Child' and 'Cracked Actor' this coming Sunday evening (21st) on CNBC at 8.40 p.m. as they are broadcasting THE CONAN O'BRIEN SHOW. You can get the channel if you have Sky satellite or cable.

Dressed in a red shirt and black shiny trousers, David played along with Conan's humour which included Conan's entry into the 'What's Really Happening' song competition. With Conan on acoustic guitar and David singing along to Conan's lyrics entitled 'I Am The Greatest Talk Show Host' which just happened to end with lyrics from 'Space Oddity'.

"I asked for an autograph, he wanted to stay home..." ...aah but he doesn't want to stay home you see... DAVID BOWIE wants to sign something just for you. If you are lucky enough to be going to see David and the rather splendid David Bowie band, on his 'Limited Engagements Tour 1999' at The Astoria in London's Charing Cross Road, then why not stroll over to the Virgin MegaStore on Oxford Street and get the man himself to sign your plaster cast, or whatever else you can think of?

The session takes place for one hour only, between 4.00 p.m. and 5.00 p.m. on 2nd December, the day of the Astoria show. An ingenious and fair queuing system has been devised... queuing will commence long before the start of the actual signing, as there will be a number given to correspond with your place in the queue. This is a refreshingly simple way to stop the likes of Mark Adams from employing their infamous queue-jumping techniques!

There will be ample opportunity to purchase Bowie product while in the MegaStore, so don't worry about carting something all the way there with you to get signed, just buy something when you get to the MegaStore! It is also a known fact that Rock Gods always do neater signatures on new stuff.

This could be your last chance to get a David Bowie autograph this millennium, so even if you aren't going to the show, get along to the Virgin MegaStore on the 2nd of December, and earn yourself a 'Bo 99'!

There is to be a DAVID BOWIE Special on German televison on Sunday, 28th November at 5.00 p.m. and 11.00 p.m. and Wednesday December 1st at 11.00 p.m. The hour long special pogramme entitled 'JAM' is to be broadcast on the VIVA channel.

The highlights of the show are to include a recent interview from Austria, various archive clips, the Elephant Man play on Broadway and footage of the making of the promo video for 'Thursday's Child'.

Tickets for DAVID BOWIE'S gig in London at The Astoria for 2nd December go on sale on Monday the 22nd November at 10am GMT, priced £20.

The forthcoming live DAVID BOWIE appearance at The Alcatraz, in Milan, Italy has been rescheduled for Saturday the 4th DECEMBER 1999.

No prizes this time just a bit of fun... Click on the photograph and have a listen to this sound file... and try to figure out where it originates from? It genuinely is DAVID BOWIE singing and not Total Blam Blam, Derek or even Neil Hannon! Here is a list of six choices for you to choose from:

1. It's from the Sunday family entertainment programme "Songsa Da Praisa"... the little known Italian version of "Songs Of Praise" hosted by Thoria Herda.

2. David's attempt to oust Cliff Richard from the number one spot this Christmas.

3. It's the B-side of "Ragazzo Solo, Ragazza Sola".

4. The highlight from 'Il Mio West' - the Italian spaghetti western movie, apart from David first entering the saloon... which is probably the best entrance ever made on film.

5. The pre-soundcheck at the recent Italian TV show just before David hits the host over the head with his acoustic guitar and tells him "I can f**king talk you under the carpet mate!"

6. The show opener for David's upcoming Milan gig smuggled from a recent New York rehearsal tape.

Guess which one... and by the way... no it's NOT another false 'hours...' outtake.

"welcome to a tale of one man's travel... though somewhat abstract, it is very much that kind of album. a journal of lost and found, things so ancient that they are new, an icarian flight so close to the sun that your wings melt, only to discover upon crashing into the sea that you can breathe underwater."

Going completely against the grain here... I simply have to tell you what happened last night in one of the DAVID BOWIE chat rooms.

I have asked Miss X if I can use this is some way or other and after she realised just how funny it is she kindly agreed. Her name has been changed to save further embarrassment.

According to a source at Channel Four's TFI Friday, the remaining two unseen performed songs 'Rebel Rebel' and 'China Girl' that DAVID BOWIE performed on the show on 8th October, should be broadcast in the near future probably on their Christmas special programme.

Talking of Robbie Williams... besides his version of 'Kooks' on his first solo album, has anyone ever heard or noticed that during "No Regrets" on his 2nd album you can hear a backing voice singing "goodbye" which sounds remarkably like David?... Hmmm. It's Neil Hannon of "My Life Story" doh! I mean The Divine Comedy... doing a very good impersonation.

Amazon.co.uk have an exclusive DAVID BOWIE interview on their web site.

The introduction starts off... "Few artists have had as much influence on rock music as David Bowie. During the course of a career that has spanned more than three decades, he has roamed all across the musical landscape, adopting new styles as often as most of us change our bed linen. From Ziggy Stardust to The Thin White Duke, from "plastic soul" to drum n' bass, he has consistently remained an innovator. Yet, on 'hours...', Bowie returns to his roots - and to form - with his most introspective album for years. Amazon.co.uk contributor CHRIS ROBERTS spoke with David Bowie in New York City about his album, his music and his thoughts about contemporary culture at the end of the millennium".

Most of the photographs taken by myself, Mrs Rednik, Steph and Stephen of DAVID BOWIE at the Radio One live session from the Maida Vale Studios in London 25th October are now available to view. Go to the front page for links. Still a few more to add yet.

The TOP OF THE POPS 2 SPECIAL on DAVID BOWIE aired tonight featured "live 99" performances and archive material from the vaults of the BBC TV Corporation.

The show introduced by David himself began with "Oh You Pretty Things" and "Five Years" from the 1972 Old Grey Whistle Test show, then "Thursday's Child" performed live in the rehearsal studios in New York recently shown on Top Of The Pops but this time complete. Next up was "Starman" from TOTP 1972 and the "Life On Mars?" promo. Then a previously unseen brilliant version of "The Pretty Things Are Going To Hell" recorded again in the New York studios but with a change of clothes for all concerned with David dressed in black.

After "Queen Bitch" from The Old Grey Whistle Test (1972), there then followed a superb rendition of "Survive" from the rehearsal studios in NY, again with a change of clothes, this time David sporting a hooded top.

To finish off the 45 minute special, the new mix of "Under Pressure" along with the new video produced by "The Torpedo Twins" got its premier screening... and excellent it is too.

Next Tuesday November 9th sees the premier episode on UK TV of Channel Four's RIGHT HERE RIGHT NOW from Chris Evans' Ginger Productions.

The live show hosted by Zoë Ball features DAVID BOWIE in the chair answering viewer's questions, along with The Charlatans, Paul Whitehouse and Kate Winslet.

Remember last month (1st October) on this web site when Channel Four asked fans to send in and film themselves asking David questions for a new show? Well here it is.

So far I've seen "The Dreamers" in concert twice, once at Harvey's Bar and at the Old Baths in Qualisar. They played Survive and Seven.
