He later admitted it was a joke iirc adding that the Sunderland crowd were electric and the Roker coastline was particularly beautiful. He revisited Sunderland several more times after that gig apparently, must have fell in love with the place. Most people do when they experience the place and people themselves instead of naively absorbing the anti-Sunderland/North East rhetoric in the media.

Where is the link to this? Thought he never said anything of the sort, happy to be corrected if true.

Be class if Elton John says ''hello Newcastle'' next year 🤣

It's bizzare how Bowie is so sycophantically held in such high asteem by so many. Fair enough he had some great songs in 70s and early 80s but Ive seen him live twice at Sunderland & Newcastle Arena and he was horrific. Big Country blew him away. The most self indulgent set lists I have ever seen. Tony Hadley puts on a much better show.

His output from 1984 onwards and pre 70s was pretty shit too apart from a slight return to form on his last album.

And don’t even get me started on Queen...
 
A younger Sting showing his thick racist side with the polis before he was all right-on. "Hello Athens" Not a murmur from the crowd. Then a rather derisive aside, "are, what do you call it?"
"Hello Athena".

As ever when a Bowie thread comes up I post to remind everyone that he was in fact in sexual relationships with boys under the age of 16.

Shocking how people usually defend him, but let's see if it happens again.

What?
 
Bowie used to hang out with Len Lowther down Roker Marina where they would sit down together and do a duet of Otis Redding's classic Sitting On The Dock Of A Bay.

He thought of the name Tin Machine while getting a can of Lilt from a vending machine in the Crowtree in the late 80s
