Career inspiration
I modeled my whole career after the fact that David Bowie always evolved and morphed and reinvented himself.
Bowie history
The lightning bolt symbol was stolen from a rice cooker in the photographer's dressing room.
The night after John Lennon was killed, Bowie went back on stage and dedicated the performance to him, but there were three empty seats in the front row—two for John and Yoko, and one for Mark Chapman.
Bowie disbanded the Spiders from Mars on stage without telling the band. That was the last show they ever played.
Fame was actually Bowie and John Lennon moaning about the fact they were getting screwed by their management and label.
The BBC in the UK actually banned the song Space Oddity before the moon landing in case the moon landing didn't go very well.
Bowie was the first major musician to star in a video game, Omikron: The Nomad Soul.
Bowie final years
Blackstar wasn't necessarily planned as a final goodbye. His intention was to just keep creating; he had plans for a second musical.
Bowie personas
The famous lightning bolt across the face is not Ziggy Stardust. That's Aladdin Sane.
The eye patch look for Halloween Jack was only because Bowie had conjunctivitis the day they were filming the video.
Bowie legacy
I'm next week publishing a book about Bowie. It started as a guide for young people to understand the full legacy of Bowie.
Bowie archives
I just went to the museum in London, the Bowie Museum. They have 90,000 pieces of Bowie memorabilia.
