The new two minute clip features David Bowie, giving into his relationship with Moby. The musicians became good friends in the early 2000s when Bowie moved across the road from the electronic artist, who at the time was struggling with personal issues. As their friendship blossomed, the pair began playing shows and making music together.
“David Bowie was my favourite musician of all time,” Moby says in the clip. “Maybe 2000 or 2001, he moved across the street from me and I couldn’t believe it. I became friends with David Bowie. Some of the moments he and I had together, I almost feel like there was a quasi-older brother quality to his friendship with me.”
