It’s December 17th and here are some reasons why this day matters in rock history:
- In 1977, David Bowie released his fourth album, Hunky Dory.
- In 1986, more than four years after breaking up, the Doobie Brothers played a reunion show in Palo Alto, California to benefit charity. It inspired them to do a reunion tour the next year.
- In 1994, Bon Jovi guitarist Richie Sambora married actress Heather Locklear.
- And, in 2005, Billboard revealed that U2 had the top-grossing tour of the year with their 90-date Vertigo trek, which was seen by more than 3 million people and grossed $260 million U.S..
And that’s what happened today in rock history.
