Singer, Songwriter, producer, actor, painter... David Bowie is one of the most fascinating artists the world has ever known.
David Bowie is a creator who placed his art above all else. During an intense career, spanning some fifty years, he constantly renewed and challenged himself. He experimented with his music enriching it with various other genres, from soul to electronic music, even including avant-garde jazz.
This book is an immersion into the life and exceptional work of David Bowie, featuring the various characters he portrayed, such as Ziggy Stardust, Halloween Jack, and The Thin White Duke, as his alter egos. From London to New York, from Los Angeles to Montreux, album after album, we enter his musical universe: glam rock, soul/funk, avant-garde rock, industrial rock, including timeless works such as The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars, Aladin Sane, Diamond Dogs, Station to Station, Heroes and Black Star. With songs that have also gone down in history: 'The Man Who Sold The World', 'Changes', 'Rock'n'Roll Suicide', 'The Jean Genie', 'Rebel Rebel', 'Word on a Wing', and 'Lazarus'.
David Bowie was a formidable showman; the world tours we highlight are testament to this. He was also a naturally seductive actor, able to embody characters far removed from each other, from the alien Thomas Jerome Newton in The Man Who Fell to Earth, Major Jack Celliers in Furyo, Andy Warhol in Basquiat and Jareth, the Goblin King in Labyrinth.
