May 23 2026 730pm The Bowie Lives returns by popular demand to the Midland Cultural Centre and is available for interviews.
The Bowie Lives is a musical tribute to the legendary David Bowie, led by Canadian performer Michael Bell. Bell is known for his uncanny ability to emulate Bowie’s vocal style and stage presence, earning acclaim for his dedication to authenticity and detail. The show celebrates Bowie's career, featuring iconic hits like Space Oddity, Heroes, Let’s Dance and so much more.

Michael Bell has been praised for his interpretation of Bowie’s music and his theatrical delivery, making the experience more than just a concert—it's a vivid recreation of Bowie's artistic spirit. The tribute also incorporates Bowie’s flamboyant costumes, intricate arrangements, and multimedia visuals to capture the essence of his legendary performances.

Michael discovered Bowie as a teen and performed songs with a number of his early bands. By the 80’s his first theatrical production “ChangesAllBowie” toured the “A circuit” before hanging up his “Ziggy” in the early ’90s. Decades passed. After David’s untimely death on January 10, 2016, Michael’s calling returned; his calling to honour the man who helped shape his life.
Coming off a strong 2025 season, The Bowie Lives takes its show on the road with their 3rd return appearance at The Midland Cultural Centre at 333 King Street, Midland, Ontario, presented by Blackrose Entertainment on May 23, 2026 at 730pm
This show has become a ritual. It always sells out, and for good reason: as this band doesn’t do tribute-by-numbers. The sets moves confidently through Bowie's catalogue, from the essential anthems to the darker, stranger corners, played with conviction rather than costume.
The result is a night that feels less like nostalgia and more like a living conversation with the music that delivers the songs with grit, respect, and zero cosplay, to a room known for sound, atmosphere.
If history is any guide, waiting is not advised.
Same room. Same electricity. Different year — same necessity.

"5 Stars! Unbelievable! I could have watched them for two more hours!" says Richard Crouse, Host of CTV PopLife.

Michael is also the subject of an upcoming documentary film “Being David Bowie” and web-series "The Bowie Lives."
