Aussie artist Xavier Rudd who has been extremely popular on the touring and festival circuit for over 15 years is just about to head out on a huge national tour in support of his recent album, Storm Boy.

It has also been revealed that the latest single off the album, "Honeymoon Bay" features none other than David Bowie, in the form of some recorded hand-claps.

Storm Boy's producer, Tim Palmer, also produced two records by Tin Machine - the hard rock band that Bowie formed in the late 80s. So, there's the connection, and regardless of the small input that occurs around the 1:20 mark, Xavier Rudd can claim that Bowie is on his album posthumously.
