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’.
