David Byrne

This March, legendary performer David Byrne will do something he hasn’t done since 2009: he will embark on a solo tour. Byrne, who fronted Hall Of Fame act Talking Heads from the group’s formation through their 1991 breakup, is also expected to release a new album to accompany the March 2018 tour.

"In the December 1989 issue of Details, then a magazine of downtown style and culture, a host of artists, writers, and celebrities answered questions about the future: “What do you think the 90s will be like?” asked the cover. Wonderful/terrible, everyone answered. Inside, Details posed this one: “What do you think David Byrne will be doing in the year 2000?”"
