Honoring David Bowie’s Longtime Pianist, Mike Garson
Featuring Lead Vocals by Joe Sumner

SAT JUNE 6, 6pm - 9:30pm

Live at The Broad | Santa Monica | Benefitting CTR

On Saturday June 6, 2026, we gather for a private concert honoring the music of David Bowie, marking the 10th anniversary of his passing from cancer, and celebrating a decade of collaboration between Mike Garson and Cancer Teamwork Response.

Garson, Bowie’s longest-standing band member whose career with David spanned four decades, will lead a concert filled with iconic hits and deep-cut favorites. He was at Bowie’s side for his first and last U.S. performances, and his avant-garde piano on tracks like Aladdin Sane helped define the sound of generations.

Joining Garson on lead vocals is Joe Sumner, frontman of Fiction Plane and son of Sting, whose vocals have been celebrated for their emotional depth and energy.

“This concert is a deeply personal way for me to honor my friend David and the legacy we created together. His music changed the world, and continues to inspire us all.”
— Mike Garson

For CTR, this evening also marks over ten years of a partnership with Garson that has strengthened a healthcare community and reached thousands of patients, families, healthcare professionals, and community leaders.

“For ten years, Mike has stood beside Cancer Teamwork Response in the most generous way, using music to bring people together around something bigger than all of us. This night reflects our shared commitment to patients navigating cancer and the community that supports them.”
— Candy Hammeras, Founder, Cancer Teamwork Response

We will also honor UCLA’s trauma team, liver and pancreas surgeons, oncologists, and leaders in breast cancer care, recognizing the physicians and institutions who collaborate with CTR to improve patient outcomes.
