Ha, Iman, you are always in the know before anyone else! So Bowie is going on tour? That was predictable since he has this new album ‘The Next Day’, but I am not talking about Iman of course, but about Iman, Bowie’s wife! She (accidently?) told Grazia magazine:
‘We have a 12 year old in school, so we are stuck, we can't travel. Our schedule is around her, so I don't know. We'll have to go visit him, but we won't be on tour with him because she's in school.’
So what does it mean? Why didn’t the interviewer ask more questions to completely clarify the situation? For me, it means that Bowie is gonna tour again, and his guitarist Gerry Leonard had already said recently there was a 50-50 chance this would happen.
However, at 66, he has to be careful, I know the Rolling Stones are doing it, but why would Bowie do it too? He obviously doesn’t need money, he has nothing to prove and has a happy family life, so it has to be either for the fans or his own satisfaction.
I have never seen him life, so it may well be my last chance…
