Gibraltarian artists prepares for musical homage to David Bowie

GIBRALTAR is preparing to hold a special commemoration of musical legend David Bowie.

The Rock on the Rock venue will host the Tribute to David Bowie on February 12, using local talent.

Melissa Hales, the Tears of Joy Choir and Kirsty Vincent will pay homage to the British icon, who died on January 11 after an 18-month battle with cancer.

Singers will perform over 20 of his greatest hits with Bowie-style face painting for fans on the night.

All proceeds raised on the night, organised by chairman Allan Alman, will go towards cancer research.
