Right up to his death in January 2016,David Bowie created art that not only pushed boundaries,but helped fans view themselves and the world from new perspectives.He used his ever-evolving musical and visual styles to build a unique community around the world.He spent fifty years looking for original ways to surprise and challenge our sense of what was possible in art,music and living.And that's why so many different kinds of people heard themselves in his songs.Being a Bowie fan was a lifelong adventure like none other.
When the shocking news of his death on January 10,2016,broke,it inspired a massive global outpouring of grief.That's when the world found out the artist who created Ziggy Stardust, Aladdin Sane,and the Thin White Duke had been secretly battling cancer.He dropped his final masterpiece,Blackstar,on his sixty-ninth birthday - two days before his death.This was an artist who never stopped changing, never stopped experimenting - right up to the end,as he faced his mortality by turning his death into a work of art.No rock star built such an enduring and powerful connection with his audience.And as this book shows,the love between Bowie and his fans was mutual.
In 'On Bowie','Rolling Stone' journalist, bestselling author,and lifelong Bowie fan Rob Sheffield writes a love letter to the artist who touched so many lives.Sheffield explores the crucial moments of Bowie's career,from his scandalous glam-rock breakthrough to Blackstar, and delivers a passionate celebration of this artist and his music,from Space Oddity to Let's Dance,from Heroes to Blackstar - summing up why he remains unforgettable.
