On tonight's show Tom presents a special tribute to David Bowie, who passed away yesterday. Join us for this special programme as we ask you, the listeners, to share your stories, memories and song requests relating to this legendary chameleon of music, film and culture. 

Def Leppard frontman Joe Elliott joins Tom to discuss his enormous admiration for Bowie and his time in the Bowie tribute band The Cybernauts. 

Acclaimed Irish musician Gerry Leonard once again drops in to studio to talk about his fifteen years working closely with Bowie as his guitarist.

It is easy to forget the fascinating acting career that Bowie enjoyed over several decades, from The Man Who Fell to Earth to his remarkable portrayal of Andy Warhol in Basquiat. Film writer Liz Hoggard joins Tom to discuss his mercurial screen presence. 

Canadian singer songwriter Emm Gryner also joins Tom this evening to discuss her time working with Bowie in his band as a singer and keyboardist. She performed with Bowie at Glastonbury and on Later with Jools Holland

Tune in from 10pm and let us know if you ever saw Bowie in concert and share your anecdotes as we pay tribute to the man and the icon.
