It's actually pretty common in music acts that are collaborative. Bowie was extremely collaborative in his music, even covering one of Luther Vandross' songs when he was a back up singer for him in New York the during the Young Americans sessions, full co-credit and everything. Most famously are his collaborations with Trent Reznor.

Diana, Princess of Wales 💎, is alive! Yes, and it’s time the world begins to awaken to this Truth and so much more. Not only is our beloved Princess still with us, but so is John F. Kennedy, Jr., Carolyn Bessette Kennedy, and Lauren Bessette. There’s also a long list of celebrities and entrepreneurs including David Bowie, Elvis, Marilyn Monroe, Michael Jackson, Robin Williams, Steve Jobs, and Whitney Houston. So, how does one account for something as unbelievable as this? Well, each person named above, and those whose names haven’t been revealed yet, have their own story, and soon you’ll be learning about it. However, in the meantime, here’s the short version. Each one of these people, at one point, entered into a worldwide witness protection program. Wondering what these individuals needed protection from? It’s something the likes of which the average man or woman has never been confronted with. Although it may sound funny, each one of us will eventually have a role in the “Big Picture,” too. What is it? We need to respectfully listen to their stories and begin to understand the “as yet, unrecognized threat” that humanity has been living amongst. Bottom line is that we must give these brave people an opportunity to tell their stories and face head-on the Truths that we’ll be given in order to protect our families and ourselves now and forever more. Best way for us to complete our responsibility is to have unwavering faith in our Creator, God Eternal.

The hiv meds caused tne aids. Based on a flawed test for hiv which is something that will never kill. Sound familiar? It gets stranger.... Anthony fauci also ran that epidemic. Aids started o the disco scene with poppers a solvent that was used there a poison poisons and mal nutrition cause auto immune disease. The leading virologist wrote a book about fauci masking the tests for early hiv treatments by giving the test subjects 6 transfusions which hid the damage of the treatment and made it look like it helped. The book is called aids the deadly deception it's 500 dollars on amazon which would be how aids kills the poor as the poor can't afford to read the truth. When the first hiv treatments were found to be causing aids it was banned I the us and shamefully sold to Africa. Which makes live aid look like us funding that horrific genocidal act of selling aids causing hiv treatments to a struggling nation. The world we live in is full of alternative agendas to what you remember.

Agree Joseph. Collectively, there is a consensus that Queen did the best set at Live Aid. I would not disagree with that. However, if there was one song that caught the moment and one individual performance that stood out then it was this incredible one of 'Heroes' by David Bowie.

Not to denigrate Queen's Live Aid performance in any way, but to me David Bowie was the best performance top to bottom, but especially this version of Heroes. That Rocket Man and Bad by U2 were the songs that stuck in my head the next day.

The energy of the band is fucking incredible. They're partying on stage and it's an amazing thing to behold. Bowie is in his prime here.

The greatest performance of arguably the most powerful rock song ever, which was of course 100% appropriate considering what these artists were trying to do that day. Still goose-bump-inducing, almost 40 years later. RIP David.

I just watched the Bohemian Rhapsody movie and the manager mentioned Bowie performed at Live Aid, so here I am! His music has been helping me through some tough 'Changes' lately. Heroes was the perfect song for this event/context

Queen and David Bowie sets at Live Aid was absolutely beast. Queen definitely stole the show, but Bowie performed right after and held his own. Thomas Dolby was on as Bowie's keyboard and synthesizer. Best 1, 2 performances of both London and in Philadelphia combined. I remember watching live on TV in the US. 2 performers I would have love to see in person... Freedie Mercury and David Bowie. I tried to see Bowie and the Tin Machine at The Roxie in 89 but it was impossible. The Roxy holds about 450 people and there were like 5000 waiting outside to get in. Thank God I grew up in the 80's. RIP legends.

My bedroom walls were covered in posters of this beautiful, talented iconic legend. I watched this live! I’m 62 but still remember all of it. I am so lucky to have been alive at this time. Queen were also sensational. Rest in Peace David and Freddie. I doubt we will ever see your like again. ☹️

And then he stopped performing, and there never Were a next time.
