David Bowie Prom - BBC News By Mark Savage 29 July 2016 Cale is performing Valentine’s Day, Sorrow and Space Oddity. In tribute to his friend, he is treating the work with zero reverence. “Space Oddity - I push it in a different direction“, he says. “I put in a trance beat. I’ve added a really great street gospel choir and we share the vocals“. Cale credits the Stargaze orchestra with giving him complete artistic freedom. “I asked them to play out of tune, they played out of tune.“
