"There Definitely Won't Be A David Bowie Tour In 2014" Says Guitaritst Earl Slick

There are no secret plans for super-selling singer-songwriter David Bowie to tour this year, according to his guitarist Earl Slick - but there may, however, be something going on in 2014.
Bowie pleasantly surprised the music world at the start of the year, announcing his 24th studio album ‘The Next Day’ - an LP which went on to top the UK Albums chart when it came out in May. But, with a new record, a tour is almost expected these days. Bowie’s fans have been left to wonder whether they’ll get a chance to see the 66-year-old live this year.
Now, Slick has come forward to state that there’s ‘no conspiracy’ about a tour, and that there’s ‘definitely’ no shows this year - but the possibility of a tour next year has not been ruled out. He told NME:
“I get asked all the time. And I say 'Do you know something I don't know?' Really though, there's no big secret we're keeping from everyone. There'll definitely be no shows this year, I can tell you that. As for next year, who knows? There's no conspiracy about a tour now, there just is no tour, and that's all I got for you.”
He continued:
“As for whether I want him to tour; well, I always want to go out, I love to tour, but I've got my own thing going at the moment too. If he goes out on the road and I get the call, then all well and good. At the moment, and let's be clear on this, there is no conspiracy about a tour, there are no surprises, there is just no tour.”
So, you may now be facing a harsh reality if you’re a Bowie fan - your hopes dashed, dreams shattered, and bubble burst. But, it’s only five-and-a-bit months until the start of 2014, and there could even be an announcement before that. Or, there might not be!
If you are a Bowie fan in need of a live show, you’ll just have to stick with us to find out whether your prayers will be answered any time in the near future.
