Geoffrey Alexander MacCormack, better known asWarren Peace, is an English vocalist, composer and dancer best known for his work withDavid Bowie in the 1970s.
A long-time friend of Bowie since their schooldays inBromley, Peace (initially as GA MacCormack) contributed backing vocals to a number of albums, beginning withAladdin Sane in 1973 and continuing through toStation to Station in 1976. He appeared with Bowie during his 1973 tour of the US and Japan, travelling back to the UK via theTrans-Siberian Railway with the singer, who refused to fly. He then performed on the final UK leg of the tour which ended withZiggy Stardust's 'retirement' at theHammersmith Odeon in July (later released asZiggy Stardust – The Motion Picture).
With Bowie, Peace co-wrote the music for "Rock 'n' Roll With Me" onDiamond Dogs (1974) and later "Turn Blue" onIggy Pop'sLust for Life (1977). He also appeared as an 'Astronette' dancer and vocalist inThe 1980 Floor Show television special with Bowie in October 1973 and as one of the 'Diamond Dogs' dancer/vocalists on Bowie's 1974 US tour (recorded and released asDavid Live). With fellow AstronettesAva Cherry and Jason Guess, and Bowie as writer/producer, Peace recorded an album's worth of material atOlympic Studios late in 1973, which was eventually released asPeople from Bad Homes in 1995.
In 2007, Peace (once again under his real name Geoff MacCormack) publishedFrom Station to Station: Travels With Bowie 1973-76, an illustrated account of his time in Bowie's entourage.
