Beschreibung

Why Bowie Matters is a deeply researched exploration that ventures into the people and places who played a pivotal role in shaping nobody David Jones into the iconic David Bowie. This book not only celebrates his life's work and transformative journey but also reveals the enduring impact he had on our culture. When David Bowie passed away, the world mourned. But why? Celebrities die every day. In this work, Professor Will Brooker immersed himself in a year-long research project, following Bowie's footsteps from London to Berlin to New York. For anyone intrigued by Bowie's persona or legacy, this book is a must-read.
