1. Born as David Robert Jones on January 8, 1947, in London, England, he later adopted the stage name “David Bowie” to avoid being confused with another British musician named Davy Jones of The Monkees.
- Bowie is widely regarded for his innovative work and influential contributions to popular music. He was a pioneer in genres like glam rock, electronic rock, and art rock, and he was known for his ever-changing image and sound throughout his career.
Throughout his career, Bowie released 27 studio albums, including the highly acclaimed “Space Oddity” (1969), “Ziggy Stardust” (1972), “Heroes” (1977), and “Blackstar” (2016).
Bowie gained international fame in 1972 with his concept album, “The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars.” The character of Ziggy Stardust was a flamboyant bisexual extraterrestrial rockstar persona that Bowie adopted on stage.
In addition to his music career, David Bowie made numerous appearances in film, television, and theater, including roles in “The Man Who Fell to Earth” (1976), “Merry Christmas, Mr. Lawrence” (1983), and as Pontius Pilate in Martin Scorsese’s “The Last Temptation of Christ” (1988).
Bowie was an avid painter and art collector, with a notable collection of 20th-century German artwork. He also designed album covers and stage sets throughout his career, collaborating with artists like Andy Warhol, Jean-Michel Basquiat, and Damien Hirst.
Bowie was married twice: first to Angie Barnett from 1970 to 1980, then to Iman from 1992 until his death in 2016.
On January 10, 2016, David Bowie passed away due to cancer at the age of 69. Despite his diagnosis being kept private throughout 2015 and early 2016, he released his final album, “Blackstar,” on January 8, 2016 – exactly one day before his death.
David Bowie has been posthumously awarded numerous accolades, including induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1996 and the Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award in 2017. His album “Blackstar” won Best Alternative Music Album at the 59th Annual Grammy Awards in 2017.
