A

tribute concert to the late rock star David Bowie, set to take place on April 1 at Carnegie Hall in New York, will be live streamed on Skype.

The concert, dubbed The Music of David Bowie, was announced only two hours prior to his death on Jan. 10, resulting in sold-out tickets for the show as well as a second event at Radio City Music Hall. Tickets reportedly start at US$300.

Up to 18 artists have confirmed they will perform at the concert, which has turned into a celebration of Bowie's musical legacy, including The Flaming Lips, Mumford & Sons, Blondie, the Pixies, Perry Farrell and The Roots.

For those interested in watching the show live, a minimum $20 donation to charity is required in order to get the streaming link.

Bowie kept a low profile after reportedly suffering a heart attack in the 2000s, the Associated Press reported. He made a moody album three years ago called The Next Day — his first recording in a decade, which was produced in secret in New York City. Blackstar, which earned positive reviews from critics, represented yet another stylistic shift, as Bowie gathered jazz players to collaborate with him. (kes)
