David Bowie: From Ziggy Stardust to Blackstar – Life and Legacy
David Bowie was an English singer, songwriter and actor whose bold reinventions left a lasting mark on popular music. He first broke through with “Space Oddity” in 1969 and found global fame as the glam rock icon Ziggy Stardust in 1972. Over a five-decade career, Bowie explored genres from “plastic soul” to experimental rock. He sold over 100 million records, collaborated with Brian Eno on the Berlin Trilogy and appeared in films like The Man Who Fell to Earth and Labyrinth. He married Angela Barnett in 1970 and later supermodel Iman, having a son and a daughter. After a liver cancer diagnosis in 2014, he died in New York at age 69 in 2016. Bowie’s legacy lives on through ongoing reissues, exhibitions and a rich discography that spans from his 1967 debut to the posthumous album Blackstar.
