50 year old David Bowie gets understandably choked up as Scott Walker wishes him a very cool happy birthday back in 1997. Hope 65 year old David Bowie is having just as good a day today!

Who would you most like to give a Mojo Award to ?
SW: “Dead or alive? Alive it’s difficult… just for changing things so radically, and hanging in there, you’d probably have to give it to David Bowie. And he makes it pay, which I don’t!”
You had the chance to work with him.
SW: “I don’t remember that. We had a couple of conversations… but he’s always very kind to me, always tells people “you gotta hear this guy.” And every time I do a record, he always sends me a great message.
