Siobhan O'Grady, Foreign Policy: Germany to David Bowie: Thank You for Helping to Bring Down the Berlin Wall
Tributes to David Bowie from fans and fellow musicians have been pouring in since the 69-year-old Bowie died after a long battle with cancer Sunday. One came from an unexpected source: the German foreign ministry, which thanked him for playing a role in bringing down the Berlin Wall.
The tweet included a link to video footage of “Heroes,” the song Bowie performed in a 1987 concert in West Berlin, which some believe was one in a series of performances that used music to bridge East and West Berlin, which were divided from 1961 to 1989.
