McCartney, Bowie may headline aliens contact concert
Bang! Showbiz | Tuesday, 1 May 2007Sir Paul McCartney, David Bowie and Michael Jackson are set to make contact with aliens, claims author Michael C Luckman.
The acts, along with Sir Elton John and The Rolling Stones, have been lined up to headline a series of concerts aimed at establishing peaceful contact with aliens by beaming music into outer space.
Luckman, author of Alien Rock: The Rock 'n' Roll Extraterrestrial Connection, plans to hold his 'Signals to Space Concerts' in Berlin, Tokyo, New York, China, Russia, Mexico and London, and hopes extraterrestrials will respond to the shows.
He told BANG Showbiz: "The aim of the concerts is to beam live music into outer space, particularly to targets in our solar systems, including Mars and the moon, to try and establish peaceful contact with extraterrestrial civilisations. Each show will be as large as Woodstock."
He added: "Some of the possible headliners are Sir Paul McCartney, Sir Elton John, David Bowie, The Rolling Stones, Aerosmith and Michael Jackson.
"Pete Bennett, the legendary promotion manager for the Beatles is also going to be involved in the project.
"He is a friend and supporter of both my book and the 'Signal to Space Concerts' and feels, as I do, that space is music's final frontier."
