                        NYC Concert to Honor David Bowie

   by VOA News

   A David Bowie memorial concert will be held in New York City's Carnegie
   Hall on March 31.

   A tribute concert dedicated to his musical legacy had been announced
   for the storied venue, but organizers changed it to a memorial in the
   wake of his death from cancer Sunday.

   Tickets went on sale Monday and quickly sold out as news spread.

   ''Bowie producer Tony Visconti's house band will perform, along with
   artists including Cyndi Lauper, the Roots and the Mountain Goats.

   On Friday, the iconic musician turned 69 and released Blackstar, his
   25th album. Inventive to the end, Bowie mixed rock and jazz on the
   album, which critics hailed as his best work in years.
