Tonight we board a glam rocket to Mars, to find out the truth!

Bowie was perhaps the most enigmatically brilliant rockstar of his generation. Thundering through faithful recreations of era-defining bangers, your rock’n’roll hosts will also peer behind the many masks and characters of The Man Who Fell To Earth, to find the real Bowie.
