Le Astronettes (da non confondersi con i ballerini del Rainbow Concert con lo stesso nome), coristi e ballerini di Bowie, erano Geoffrey MacCormack, Jason Guess e Ava Cherry.
Ricordava Bowie nel [[1992]], «Mi dissero: "Non possiamo farlo vedere, è sovversivo!"».(5years)
"Mi dissero: "Non possiamo farlo vedere, è sovversivo!" We went through hell, so I had to take the hand of my crotch. And then of course they didn't like the black pouch piece that was down there, that the hand was stitched to...so I had to change all that. So, like the 'Diamond Dogs' thing that they airbrushed the dick off, I was having more erasure problems. It followed me all through the Seventies.* It's funny that I can remember the costume and not the song, totally indicative of what the time was like." - Bowie (2002)
DuringDurante "Rock N'n' Roll Suicide", thela wordparola "suicide" wasvenne bleeped each time it appeared in the song. This was because earlier that year a boy had died in the US trying to imitate part of Alice Coopers stage act where he was hung onstage. Subsequently it was dropped from the final edit by NBC.
For "1984" - Bowie wore a Ziggy cloak which was stripped away by Ava Cherry and Jason Guess to reveal the "keyhole costume."
