Scorsese first announced the project in July 2020, developing a tour through Johansen’s career around a January 2020 recording of the musician’s cabaret show at Café Carlyle in New York. In an earlier press release about Personality Crisis, Scorsese remarked on his personal relationship with Johansen and creative inspiration, saying, “David’s music captures the energy and excitement of New York City.”
