Watch Cat Power, Wayne Coyne, Michael Stipe, more pay tribute to David Bowie in new documentary

In April, Carnegie Hall and Radio City Music Hall hosted a pair of sold-out tribute shows in tribute of David Bowie. Artists such as Michael Stipe, the Flaming Lips, Cat Power, Blondie’s Debbie Harry, Laurie Anderson, and more covered songs that spanned throughout Bowie’s career. Okayplayer TV has shared a documentary, directed by Rafe Scoobey-Thal, that features interviews with many of the concert’s participants. Recorded backstage during rehearsals for the show, the artists revealed some of their favorite songs and talked about their favorite memories of Bowie. Cat Power, Stipe, the Mountain Goats’ John Darnielle, Esperanza Spalding, Anderson, Cyndi Lauper, Harry, the Flaming Lips’ Wayne Coyne, Bilal, Perry Farrell, Rickie Lee Jones, Robyn Hitchcock, and Heart’s Ann Wilson talked in the video. You can watch it below.

The documentary also featured footage of Bowie live shows and music videos, mixed with the interviews.
