Starman

In 1972, the rocknroll messiah ZIGGY STARDUST was born. His provocative play on sexual identity and gender roles laid the foundation for David Bowies ascent to becoming one of the most successful pop musicians of all time. Reinhard Kleists Starman weaves the gripping tale of this outrageous characters genesis, rise, and fall, as well as of David Bowies hapless efforts in the London music scene before Ziggys arrival, and of the struggles he experienced with his own creation at the height of his fame. As Bowie transforms himself, ever more frenetically, into the egocentric rock star he first conceived, the extravagant lifestyle he had only ever imagined threatens to engulf him, and bring everything down before his eyes [This publication has not been prepared, approved, authorized or licensed by the David Bowie estate or any related entity.]
