To celebrate, the band have shared a video of them performing live with Bowie interspersed with joint interview footage. Speaking of loving them from the first time he heard them, Bowie remembered the first time he heard ‘Nancy Boy’, saying “that’s a terrific song for a bunch of chaps to sing”.

He added that he’d “enjoyed watching them grow – hopefully I can watch them grow into old age as well.
