Peter Murphy plays first show since 2016; reunites with David J

Peter Murphy returned to the stage last night and reunited with his ex-Bauhaus bandmate, bassist David J. at the Roxy Festival in Gadalajara, Mexico. The pair dazzled the crowd with an ten song set that wrapped up with an abbreviated version of "Ziggy Stardust" which was cut short after going over curfew. So far video from the set has not appeared online, however the setlist is available to view below.

Last night's performance was Murphy's first since 2016, though he's made several valiant attempts to get back on stage: his tour plans for 2017 were cut short after developing vocal cord issues, then earlier this year Murphy's rescheduled San Francisco residency dates were pushed back again after he was unable to gain entry in the United States. Murphy's immigration issues are expected to be resolved and his San Francisco residency at The Chapel has been rescheduled to kick off on June 26th.
