About this deal

It captures the birth of Ziggy from the spectacular, meticulously planned shows in the UK and USA, to the death of Ziggy when he broke up the band. We can see how Bowie created his Ziggy and the Spiders From Mars in their flamboyant costumes and exotic hair and make-up. Ziggy Stardust blazed briefly but intensely, and I am delighted to see his life and times as a rock’n’roll star immortalised in this book. I'm a big fan of Bowie and i'm really into Photography so this was a good read, and i really enjoyed all the amazing picture's. You can change your choices at any time by visiting Cookie preferences, as described in the Cookie notice.

During the entire book one cannot slip the feeling of Bowie being an icon in so many ways, staying humble through his own words, debunking myths (once as "tosh") and glorifying the people who helped him to garb, make-up and generally help him in a variety of ways, not least Mick Ronson and Mick Rock. Along with the familiar images are some photo's that I have never seen before and with an entertaining narrative from Bowie Himself this is a feast of Sound and Vision.I went to see Bowie with two mates expecting to see the bloke from Hunky Dory - ie with long yellow hair and maybe a dress. A very consciously created persona by Bowie that was representative of the celebrity cycle of a rockstar. I'd been fascinated by this fey creature-- an alien demigod of sex and song-- ever since they'd started playing his cuts on the "underground" radio station, and photos of him began to show up in the music press.
