David Bowie is the most innovative and influential musician of the last forty years. From the glam rock of Ziggy Stardust tot he plastic soul of Young Americans-and its US number one single "Fame"-he has refused to stand still. Not content with pioneering heavy metal on The Man Who Sold The World and challenging audience expectations with the austere synthesizer minimalism of his Berlin years, Bowie also found time to star in The Man Who Fell to Earth and Labyrinth, among many other films, an also played crucial roles in the success of his friends Lou Reed, Iggy Pop, and Mott the Hoople. Early explosive comments about his sexuality, a drug habit that saw him exist for months on a diet of red and green peppers, and controversial political statements (later denied), ensure that he will always be one to watch-and listen to.
