Arcade Fire and Preservation Hall Bowie Memorial Parade NOLA Sat

If you would like to pay your respects to David Bowie you can on Saturday, January 16th in New Orleans with Arcade Fire and Preservation Hall Jazz Band. They will pay tribute to David Bowie with a second line parade through the streets of New Orleans.

In a note release earlier this week, Arcade Fire frontman Win Butler discussed the band’s relationship with Bowie.

“David Bowie was one of the band’s earliest supporters and champions. He not only created the world that made it possible for our band to exist, he welcomed us into it with grace and warmth. I will take to the grave the moments we shared; talking, playing music and collaborating as some of the most profound and memorable moments of my life. A true artist even in his passing, the world is more bright and mysterious because of him, and we will continue to shout prayers into the atmosphere he created.” -Win Butler
