Garson said of the event: “What we’re planning is an amazing show with the most talented musicians from every period of David’s career, as well as phenomenal artists from many different genres.

“We’ll hear different interpretations of David’s songs; some with totally new arrangements that have never been heard before.”

Also set to star in the livestream are Gary Oldman, Macy Gray, Perry Farrell and more, including Bowie’s producer Tony Visconti, and his final touring band, which features Gail Ann Dorsey, Garson and others.

Tickets for the show are available now for $20 (£15).
