David Bowie's estate announced Bowie80 on October 5, launching an international programme that continues throughout 2027. The musician would have turned 80 on January 8. Exhibitions, concert productions and fan events form part of the celebrations. Cleveland's Rock & Roll Hall of Fame is preparing activities around his birthday weekend.
