In 1983, David Bowie embarked on The Serious Moonlight Tour, a worldwide concert tour to support the release of his new album, “Let’s Dance.” The tour opened in Brussels, Belgium, in May and ended in Hong Kong in December, selling over 2.6 million tickets for 96 performances in 15 countries. At the time it was Bowie’s longest, largest and most successful concert tour to date.
