I attended the show and was in the first row, standing up against the stage. When the riot broke out, the crowds rushed the stage, crushing me. Bowie’s bass guitarist, Herbie Flowers, reached down, grabbed my hand, and pulled me to the stage. He rushed me backstage and out into the parking lot. I was separated from my friends, so he gave me $20 for a taxi home.
49 years later, I was put in touch with his art instructor in England; she mentioned me to him, and he remembered everything. I had hoped to see him at the end of September 2024, but sadly, he passed away two weeks before. I’m forever grateful to him; he literally saved my life.
