Poster advertising David Bowie's Serious Moonlight tour, 1983.
Bowie’s most commercially successful tour saw him perform 96 times in 15 countries, promoting his album Let’s Dance. Although this was Bowie’s longest and largest tour, the simple set design, few props and single costume change contrasted to some of his more extravagant outings, such as the Ziggy Stardust and Diamond Dogs tours of previous years.
