Life on Tour with Bowie. Sean Mayes
kids outside knew just who he was though - quite a crowd had collected behind the red curtained entrance. In due course, David made his escape through a service exit so they had to make do with the rest of us when we emerged.
In the bar, I spotted the piano player and introduced myself. She was Gayle Dietrich, living in LA. She was planning a solo career and I wished her luck. I must confess I tried to buy some flowers to send up later but everything was closed.
After last night I felt shattered when I crawled out of the elevator and someone had stubbed a cigar out in the monogrammed sand.

Baton Rouge - the name has a ring to it, right down there on the Mississippi, but we flew in over one of the filthiest industrial estates I’ve ever seen. The airport and hotel were right out in the green though and everything was awash with rain.
The LSU Assembly Centre looks like a large flying saucer has just landed. It holds 11,000 people and the sheriff’s police had them well under control. This was a drag at first but they got excited by the end of the show.
Afterwards I met a few kids in the hotel lobby, then David arrived with Coco and Frank. They wanted to go for something to eat so the kids told us of a club nearby and eagerly piled into cars to go there themselves. Somehow in the rush, the four of us got left behind! David decided he’d rather walk - we could see the club but it turned out to be on the other side of the freeway and there were a few cars rushing out of the night. We persuaded David not to make a dash for it - I had a dreadful vision of our hero breathing his last on a Louisiana freeway - and we squeezed into another car. David and the others had a meal while I chatted with a table of kids. Later, David spent most of his time signing autographs and answering questions. I generally steer clear of him at times like this but some fans still wonder how I can avoid his company for even a minute.
