Speaking to the Houston crowd, Madonna said of Bowie,
“He was one of the geniuses in the music industry, one of the greatest singer-songwriters of the 20th century, and he changed my life when I went to see him in concert in Detroit. He showed me that it was OK to be different. And he's the first rebel heart that I laid eyes on.”
