After an encore, David brought on his friend and guitarist Jeff Beck for a medley of ‘The Jean Genie’ and The Beatles’ ‘Love Me Do’. Bowie hushed the audience and announced: “Everybody, this has been one of the greatest tours of our life. We really – first, I’d like to thank the band. I’d like to thank our road crew. And I’d like to thank our lighting people. Of all the shows on this tour, this particular show will remain with us the longest, because not only is it the last show of the tour, but it’s the last show that we’ll ever do. Thank you.”

Only Mick Ronson had been told about this announcement prior to the concert whilst Woody Woodmansey and Trevor Bolder had not. The band played one final song, ‘Rock ‘n’ Roll Suicide’ after which David bowed three times, blew a kiss and left the venue – taking Ziggy Stardust with him.
