Debbie Harry, Pixies and Bette Midler are among a host of A-list names to join the line-up for the David Bowie tribute concert.

The stars will take to the stage at Carnegie Hall in New York next month to perform for fans of the late music icon.

Celebrating the career of the British singer, who passed away last month, the musicians will join forces for a two-date extravaganza.

Blondie frontwoman Harry has now been added to the bill for the first night, headlining alongside Pixies, Michael Stipe, Cyndi Lauper and Bette Midler.
