Noel Gallagher has joined the line-up for the return of A Bowie Celebration.
The former Oasis man is the latest act confirmed to perform at the event on January 8, joining Gary Oldman, Ricky Gervais, members of Def Leppard and Duran Duran, Living Colour, Rob Thomas, Walk The Moon, Jake Wesley Rogers and others.
The second annual livestream tribute will honour the sixth anniversary of Bowie's passing, taking place on what would have been the late icon's 75th birthday.
Spearheaded by Mike Garson, Bowie's longtime collaborator, the virtual festival's house band will include fellow Bowie alumni such as Earl Slick, Charlie Sexton, Alan Childs, Steve Elson, Mark Guiliana, Omar Hakim, Stan Harrison, Tim Lefebvre, Gerry Leonard and Carmine Rojas. Kitten Kuroi, Maiya Sykes and Jules Galli are also singing.
The show will be available to watch on RollingLiveStudios.com for 24 hours, beginning at 6pm PST/2am GMT. A portion of the ticket sales will go to Save the Children, the beneficiary of funds raised from Bowie's 50th Birthday Concert held in 1997 at Madison Square Garden.
In related news, Noel Gallagher recently announced a run of outdoor concerts for the summer, kicking off with an appearance at the inaugural In It Together Festival on June 4 and culminating with a headline set at Bristol Sounds on June 22.
