BBC:

David Bowie has denied reports he has given permission for his songs to be used in a stage show inspired by his 1976 film The Man Who Fell To Earth.

His statement follows claims in the Sun newspaper he was collaborating with the Danish choreographer Peter Schaufuss.

Bowie’s record company RZO Music said “absolutely no material” had been licensed for the proposed dance show.

But Mr Schaufuss told the BBC he had obtained the necessary permission to use Bowie’s music in Denmark.

“We have done everything by the book,” he said, saying the show would have its premiere on 26 September.

Sun UK:

Glam rock legend DAVID BOWIE has finally given permission for a stage show based around his mighty catalogue of classics.

The Thin White Duke is teaming up with top director PETER SCHAUFUSS to bring his bonkers sci-fi film The Man Who Fell To Earth to the boards.

The lavish production will weave Bowie’s sci-fi influenced hits around the storyline of the cult 1976 flick. Bowie played an alien on earth to get water for his dying planet.

I think David Bowie should shout up and the ballet should go ahead.
