Lost David Bowie Top Of The Pops Footage To Air Tonight (December 21)

'Lost' footage of  David Bowie performing on Top Of The Pops is set to be broadcast on BBC 2 tonight (December 21).

The clip, which was thought to have been destroyed, sees the singer perform his track 'The Jean Genie'.

Executive producer of Top Of The Pops 2 Mark Cooper told BBC News: Bowie singing 'The Jean Genie' is electric and the kind of piece of archive that not only brings back how brilliant Top Of The Pops could be, but also how a piece of archive can speak to us down the years.

The four-minute clip will be included in Top Of The Pops Christmas Special at 7.30pm (GMT) tonight (December 21).
Meanwhile, a biographer has claimed that it will be “a bit of a miracle” if David Bowie returns to music.

The singer has not released a new album since 2003's 'Reality' and last performed live in 2006, despite calls from his fans to make a comeback.

Paul Trynka, the author of a new Bowie book called Starman, said he would be surprised if the veteran since made new music.
