Page "David Bowie" Paragraph 49

Bowie was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame on 17 January 1996.

Incorporating experiments in British jungle and drum ' n ' bass, Earthling ( 1997 ) was a critical and commercial success in the UK and the US, and two singles from the album became UK top 40 hits.

Bowie's song " I'm Afraid of Americans " from the Paul Verhoeven film Showgirls was re-recorded for the album, and remixed by Trent Reznor for a single release.

The heavy rotation of the accompanying video, also featuring Reznor, contributed to the song's 16-week stay in the US Billboard Hot 100.

The Earthling Tour took in Europe and North America between June and November 1997.

Bowie reunited with Visconti in 1998 to record "( Safe in This ) Sky Life " for The Rugrats Movie.

Although the track was edited out of the final cut, it would later be re-recorded and released as " Safe " on the B-side of Bowie's 2002 single " Everyone Says ' Hi '".

The reunion led to other collaborations including a limited-edition single release version of Placebo's track " Without You I'm Nothing ", co-produced by Visconti, with Bowie's harmonised vocal added to the original recording.
