Executive producer David Sabel said: "The response to David Bowie: You're Not Alone has been incredible. You can see from the premiere's turnout the impact he had on the generations of artists that followed. His curiosity and creativity meant that his impact has been felt across the cultural world, inspiring so many others." 

Director Mark Grimmer said: "The show is split across thematic chapters, and between those we shine a light on some of the iconic performances from across Bowie's career. We've had access, via the Bowie Archive, to live footage and multi-tracks from sessions, and we've created something where you really feel like you're inside the story. Incredible original animation, graphic design and sound design have been used to make the audience feel they are up close and personal with one of the world's great musical artists."

Lightroom chief executive Richard Slaney said: "Lightroom has worked with creative partners from David Hockney to Tom Hanks, Anna Wintour to the crew of Artemis II.  There's no musical artist that embodies Lightroom's range of programming more than David Bowie and no one more worthy of our first large scale music production. His adventurousness, boldness and creativity make him the perfect subject for this new way of storytelling."

The 360° experience, produced by Lightroom and designed by 59, a Journey studio, is written and directed by 59's Mark Grimmer (Creative Director for the V&A's David Bowie Is exhibition) and Tom Wexler. You're Not Alone will showcase some of Bowie's landmark performances that redefined popular culture, using a mixture of iconic, rarely seen and never-before-exhibited material, selected from thousands of hours of film in the vaults of the David Bowie Archive in New York,  from Space Oddity through Diamond Dogs and "Heroes" to ★. Audiences will have the chance to feel they have travelled through time to experience Bowie in performance - up close and first-hand. Each track in the show has been newly reconfigured to utilise Lightroom's specialised spatial audio system by multiple Olivier and Tony award-winning sound designer Gareth Fry (Harry Potter & The Cursed Child, David Bowie Is).

This is David Bowie, the man himself. Instead of magnifying the myth through the lens of his characters - Ziggy Stardust, Aladdin Sane, Halloween Jack, The Thin White Duke -  You're Not Alone places its focus on the man behind the masks: the provocateur, the polymath, the shapeshifting icon in his enduring, human form.

The film is structured in thematic chapters in a looping presentation, giving a unique insight into Bowie's perspective on the subjects most important to him, including: theatricality, spirituality, songwriting and the transformative power of creativity. There are surreal moments, like the transatlantic TV interview with Russell Harty in 1975, in which Bowie artfully takes control of the narrative and the interviewer is reduced to asking him questions about the colour of his hair. Elsewhere, the reconstructed set of the inimitable Diamond Dogs tour materialises before our very eyes, igniting a Bowie performance unlike any other captured on film. 

Bringing together a wealth of visual material from a wide range of sources, the show combines rare performance footage, photography, drawings, lyrics, personal notes and audio recordings. David Bowie: You're Not Alone will celebrate Bowie's boundless curiosity as a force that connected people across continents and generations, as well as his enduring cultural impact today.

The show builds on Lightroom's growing repertoire of critically acclaimed shows that have now been seen by over 1.5 million visitors globally, including creative collaborations with David Hockney, Tom Hanks, Anna Wintour and Vogue and Apple TV.

David Bowie: You're Not Alone is being made in close collaboration with and authorized by the David Bowie Estate.

Tickets for David Bowie: You're Not Alone are on sale, priced from £25 for adults and £15 for students and concessions. 

Tickets will be available from 22 April until 28 June, with more tickets being released for summer soon. To be the first to hear about the next ticket release sign up to Lightroom's mailing list here.
