It’s just gone 7am and you are thinking about waking up. You are questioning the music selection on the BBC 6Music Breakfast Show – how are you supposed to wake up to this subdued stuff? It’s 7:11, it’s January, you don’t need gloom.
You’ve got plenty of gloom yourself.
And then Shaun Keaveny says the words which do two things: justify the musical mood and wake you up with a jolt. You heard that wrong. It can’t be true.
You let it sink in.
And you wonder: Will he sing Under Pressure with Freddie again?
You’d like to think so.

Let’s all thank our lucky stars that we were – for a while at least – alive at the same time as David Bowie.
