News Wire Tel Aviv

David Bowie wowed fans in Israel by addressing the crowd of 30,000 in perfect Hebrew.

"Tov li po (It's good for me here)," the 50-year-old British rocker said Wednesday in his first trip to Israel.

Bowie peppered his performance at Tel Aviv's main park with remarks in Hebrew as he belted out songs from his latest album, Outside, and a few older hits such as Heroes and All The Young Dudes.

"His Hebrew was great. It made the concert," fan Alan Lefkowitz said.
