Follow every step of David Bowie's career—from Ziggy Stardust to Tin Machine, "Space Oddity" to Let's Dance, and finally, Blackstar—in this illustrated retrospective. Each page features stunning concert and candid offstage photography, including gig posters, 7-inch picture sleeves, and concert ticket stubs. Bowie released an impressive 27 studio albums, starting with his 1967 debut and concluding with Blackstar, which came just two days before his untimely death in January 2016. Regarded as one of the most influential musicians of the last five decades, Bowie shattered the limitations of stagecraft in rock music and demonstrated the possibility of constant reinvention. His impact spans genres from glam to punk rock. This beautifully designed narrative chronicles Bowie's evolution from the folkie baroque rock of his debut to his iconic single "Space Oddity," and his flamboyant glam rock persona, Ziggy Stardust. Author Pat Gilbert explores Bowie's soul phase, his electronic Berlin trilogy, his pop success in the 1980s, and his later ventures into electronica, along with notable performances, collaborations, and accolades. This work serves as a fitting tribute to one of rock history's most admired stars.
