Mary Anne Hobbs and Scott Walker bring Bowie to tears

Available for over a year

Here is an amazing clip of 6 Music’s Mary Anne Hobbs bringing David Bowie to tears in 1997, with the help of Scott Walker. On the occasion of Bowie's 50th birthday, Mary Anne plays a birthday message from his hero Scott Walker, which makes the Thin White Duke cry. It’s a magical listen. The audio of this clip was updated to a higher quality version in July 2017, to replace an off-air copy of the audio provided by 6 Music listener Gary Preston in 2013.
