The 'hours...' Tour was a small-scale promotional concert tour by David Bowie comprising of eight live performances and numerous television appearances in support of the album, 'hours...'. A new guitarist, Page Hamilton ex-Helmet founder member, was drafted to replace Reeves Gabrels whose final performance and association with Bowie ended at the VH1 Storytellers performance on 23 August 1999. Rumours of a split was denied by both parties, until a few months later the story changed as the guitarist admitted that he and Bowie had drifted apart.[1]
