David Bowie Death: Tribute Concerts, Events To Attend On First Anniversary Of Singer's Passing

Tuesday marks the one-year anniversary of the death of David Bowie, and the international music community is taking notice.

Cities around the world will host events in January to honor the pop megastar, who died last year after battling cancer. Bowie, who released “Blackstar” just two days before his death, would have turned 70 in 2017, Billboard reported.

Bowie made his mark in the United Kingdom and beyond with albums like “Aladdin Sane” and “Hunky Dory.” Songs from those records and others are sure to show up during tribute concerts in memory of the late cultural icon.

Here are a series of events to attend on the one-year anniversary of Bowie’s death:
