Page "David Bowie" Paragraph 32

After completing Low and " Heroes ", Bowie spent much of 1978 on the Isolar II world tour, bringing the music of the first two Berlin Trilogy albums to almost a million people during 70 concerts in 12 countries.

By now he had broken his drug addiction ; biographer David Buckley writes that Isolar II was " Bowie's first tour for five years in which he had probably not anaesthetised himself with copious quantities of cocaine before taking the stage.

[...] Without the oblivion that drugs had brought, he was now in a healthy enough mental condition to want to make friends.

" Recordings from the tour made up the live album Stage, released the same year.
