Howard Stern will be remembering the music of David Bowie this year, though he prsonally won't be participating in anything musical. Instead, Stern has recruited the likes of Slipknot/Stone Sour frontman Corey Taylor, Greta Van Fleet, Gogol Bordello, Peter Frampton, Smashing Pumpkins' William Patrick Corgan, and way more to cover some of the Bowie classics. Stern tells Rolling Stone his decision is pretty simple – he just wants people to remember Bowie's classic and timeless music.
"When I got into rock & roll music, one of the artists that I first really got into was David Bowie. He was always evolving, he was always on top of things, he was just a great musician and a great songwriter and a great singer. I want to make sure that people remember David Bowie."
