It has been one-year since David Bowie passed away. It still feels surreal that we live in world where the rock and roll star no longer exists, but Ziggy’s spirit still lives on through his music.
In honor of what would be the artist’s 70th birthday, several bars and venues in the city are hosting tribute parties, in which DJs and performers are expected to play his best hits. There are three great remembrance bashes going down tonight, so make sure to grab your tickets, your face paint and your red shoes so you can dance the blues away.
