ALL THINGS BOWIE: DAVID BOWIE has been invited to headline the closing night of the UK's preeminent music celebration, the Glastonbury Festival, on Sunday, June 25, which marks its 30th anniversary this year. For BOWIE, who will be joined by fellow headliners The Chemical Brothers and Travis, the massive three-day outdoors event will have special significance since he performed on the festival's inaugural bill back in 1970. BOWIE's band will include guitarist Earl Slick, who supported BOWIE on both 1974's "Diamond Dogs Tour" and 1983's "The Serious Moonlight Tour." Slick also played on three of BOWIE's albums: 1974's Young Americans, 1975's David Live and 1976's Station To Station. In preparation for the Glastonbury show, it's rumored that BOWIE will play a few surprise gigs in the New York area in June. Meanwhile, a special "American Psycho Remix" of "Something In The Air"–a song from BOWIE's most recent Virgin Records release, the critically-acclaimed hours…–is featured in the controversial new film "American Psycho" and its soundtrack album. This continues BOWIE's history of his songs being featured in films: most recently, Earthling's "Dead Man Walking" (in "The Saint") plus Outside's "The Hearts Filthy Lesson" ("Seven") and "I'm Deranged" (David Lynch's "Lost Highway").
