Last night there was a concert tribute livestream to honour David Bowie‘s life and career, and to celebrate what would’ve been his 74th birthday. The lineup featured many artists including Trent Reznor of Nine Inch Nails, Billy Corgan of The Smashing Pumpkins, Perry Farrell of Jane’s Addiction, Gavin Rossdale of Bush, Dave Navarro of Jane’s Addiction, Taylor Hawkins of Foo Fighters and more. The event was organized by Mike Garson a pianist who has worked with some of these artists, as well as David Bowie himself. David Bowie’s producing partner Tony Visconti, and musicians from his final touring band were be present as well.

In addition to the tribute last night, many wonderful words and memories are being shared today, on the fifth anniversary of his passing.

Here are some of those performances and posts from SONiC artists.
