About the artist
David Bowie (1947–2016), born David Robert Jones in Brixton, London, was one of the most influential and constantly reinventing figures in popular music history. Across a five-decade career, he continually shifted persona, genre, and visual identity, moving from folk-rock beginnings to the glam-rock alter ego Ziggy Stardust, through soul, the experimental Berlin Trilogy, new wave, and beyond, always staying ahead of prevailing trends.
His breakthrough came with «Space Oddity» in 1969, its story of the fictional astronaut Major Tom capturing public imagination amid the Apollo moon landing. The 1972 album The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars made him a global star, followed by acclaimed works such as Hunky Dory, Low, and «Heroes», the latter two produced with Brian Eno and Tony Visconti during his celebrated Berlin period, and Let's Dance in the 1980s, which brought him mainstream pop success with hits like the title track and «Modern Love».
Bowie's androgynous image and fearless genre experimentation made him a defining influence on glam, art rock, new wave, and later generations of pop and rock artists alike. He remained artistically restless until the end, releasing his final album, ★ (Blackstar), just days before his death in 2016, a work widely interpreted as a deliberate farewell. His legacy touches nearly every corner of modern popular music and fashion.
