David Bowie gets blocky for Rock Band

Fans of the Rock Band series and, er, Lego will be pleased to hear that the two game franchises are combining forces for the upcoming Lego Rock Band.

The videogame will take the guitar strumming antics of the popular series along a more family orientated theme – eschewing hard metal anthems for more familiar rock and pop fare.
Warner Bros and MTV Games will hope that a simpler, more child-friendly Rock Band will make the game more accessible to kids, while maintaining its appeal to adults with a new set of tracks to master and the customisation and charm you've come to expect from previous Lego games. Our exclusive clip features a Lego David Bowie performing his 1983 hit Let's Dance – and though the Duke himself hasn't been made available for comment, he can take some comfort from the fact that it's certainly not the strangest he's ever looked.
