The Bowie Lives is excited to continue their run of theatres in 2025.
The Bowie Lives is a musical tribute to the legendary David Bowie, led by Canadian performer Michael Bell. Bell is known for his uncanny ability to emulate Bowie’s vocal style and stage presence, earning acclaim for his dedication to authenticity and detail. The show celebrates Bowie's career, featuring iconic hits like Space Oddity, Heroes, and Let’s Dance.
Michael Bell has been praised for his interpretation of Bowie’s music and his theatrical delivery, making the experience more than just a concert—it's a vivid recreation of Bowie's artistic spirit. The tribute also incorporates Bowie’s flamboyant costumes, intricate arrangements, and multimedia visuals to capture the essence of his legendary performances.
Michael discovered Bowie as a teen and performed songs with a number of his early bands. By the 80’s his first theatrical production “ChangesAllBowie” toured the “A circuit” before hanging up his “Ziggy” in the early ’90s. Decades passed. After David’s untimely death on January 10, 2016, Michael’s calling returned; his calling to honour the man who helped shape his life.
"5 Stars! Unbelievable! I could have watched them for two more hours!" says Richard Crouse, Host of CTV PopLife. “By far, the best & coolest Bowie Tribute I’ve seen!” says Sam Grosso, Cadillac Productions. "As close as it gets!" says MusikMirage

Michael is also the subject of an upcoming documentary film “Being David Bowie” and web-series "The Bowie Lives."
"Saw the show last night in Midland and was blown away. Was a little apprehensive at first as I have been a Bowie fan since I was a teen and i was concerned the band may not do the songs justice. i was overwhelmingly thrilled at what I heard and saw, from the first note I was hooked. The biggest take away is you can tell the lead singer is truly a devoted fan himself. Loved the way you honoured David Bowie. Hope to see you in Collingwood"
