Heavy Hitter: David Bowie Pt 5: Five Parts is not nearly enough to sum up the life and career of David Bowie. The man transcended music, making an impact in film, fashion, and the entire scope of entertainment. And yet, in this chapter, Bowie will have his greatest accomplishment... meeting the love of his love. Celebrate David Bowie with us in this, the Final Chapter of the Bowie Saga. His status was undeniable and his untimely departure tragic. And yet, as Rosencrans and Guildenstern put it best, "Every exit is an entrance somewhere else." This could not have been more appropriate for this groundbreaking artist. Thank you, David.

David Bowie: David Bowie is dying, and no-one knows it. No journalists, no fans. Just the chosen few. His wife. His grown-up son, his young daughter. A handful of others, all sworn to secrecy. And he’s been rushing to get songs recorded, videos made, plays performed. Because his life's always been about reinvention, about creativity. About working out who you are, what you want to say. About control of image, and intent. All those wild incarnations – the costumes, the make-up, the poses. All those characters he becomes – Ziggy Stardust, the Thin White Duke, the Man Who Fell To Earth. And now, he's releasing one more album. It’s time for the final performance. The last great artistic move...<br /><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> See <a style='color:grey;' target='_blank' rel='noopener noreferrer' href='https://acast.com/privacy'>acast.com/privacy</a> for privacy and opt-out information.</p> by Death of a Rock Star

Rock N Roll Librarian: Bowie on Bowie Interviews and Encounters with David Bowie: Bowie on Bowie presents some of the best interviews David Bowie has granted in his near five-decade career. Each featured interview traces a new step in his unique journey, successively freezing him in time in all of his various incarnations, from a young novelty hit-maker and Ziggy Stardust to plastic soul player, 1980s sell-out, and the artistically reborn and beloved elder statesman of challenging popular music. In all of these iterations he is remarkably articulate and also preternaturally polite as almost every interviewer remarks upon his charm. The features in this book come from outlets both prestigious—Melody Maker, MOJO, New Musical Express, Q, Rolling Stone—and less well-known—the Drummer, Guitar, Ikon, Mr. Showbiz—but no matter the renown of the magazine, newspaper, or website, Bowie lets us approach the nerve center of his notoriously creative output. by Rock N Roll Librarian
