Put on Your Red Shoes and Dance the Blues: “Let’s Dance” Goes NFT
Non-fungible tokens (NFTs) keep rocking the art scene. This time, the legendary late musician David Bowie who created “Space Oddity” is in the focus.
David Bowie may not be alive but he’s still kicking.
In a tweet dated April 27, Gala Music, a subsidiary of the Web3 startup Gala Games, announced the release of “Let’s Dance”, David Bowie’s iconic tune from 1983.
“Put on your red shoes and dance the blues! To celebrate the 40th anniversary of 'Let's Dance' we're releasing a never before heard version of #DavidBowie's iconic track with proceeds donated to @MusiCares,” the tweet reads.

Carried out in cooperation with music producer Larry Dvoskin and publisher Warner-Chappell Music, the track will be available on a "pay-what-you-wish" purchase basis, with the profits donated to MusiCares charity fund that offers health and human services to people in the music industry.
The late Davie Bowie is no stranger to the NFT market.
In 2022, the Bowie Estate issued Bowie on the Blockchain in partnership with OpenSea and We Love the Arts, the Web3 venture of artist manager Andrew D. Keller of We Few Group, and film producer Joaquin Acrich.
The project aims to donate 100% of profits to CARE, for which Iman, Bowie's wife, is its first-ever Global Advocate.
The collection features 15 NFTs. The lowest-priced piece called “ The Transcended by Defaced” is available for $7.27. Meanwhile, the most expensive one “Life on Mars by Pussy Riot” is sold for $141.26.
