Publish date: 2024-05-18

In 1966, John Hutchison auditioned to be part of "David Bowie and the Buzz" in a residency at the legendary Marquee Club. They performed at live concerts and appeared on television multiple times in the U.K. In his memoir, "Bowie and Hutch," the guitar player revealed that he quit the band twice, was fired once, and had a diplomatic relationship with Bowie.

"We do at least stay in touch by means of an email now and then," he explained. "I do have to remember not to pester David, mind you, as we are many years and miles apart now, and there are constraints that lifestyle and fame impose upon old friends of stars like David Bowie" (via Ultimate Classic Rock).

According to his official webpage, John "Hutch" Hutchison, he focused on the oil industry in the 1980s. Still, he never stopped playing and even created a band when he lived in Azerbaijan in 2006, where he performed in the Old Baku Jazz Club.
