Delve into the extraordinary life and unparalleled legacy of David Bowie, the iconic English singer, songwriter, and actor, in this compelling biography. Born David Robert Jones on January 8, 1947, Bowie transcended the boundaries of music and art, leaving an indelible mark on the 20th century as one of its most influential musicians.
From his early struggles with local bands and a solo album to the groundbreaking success of "Space Oddity" (1969), Bowie's career was a continuous journey of reinvention. The glam rock era saw the emergence of his flamboyant alter ego Ziggy Stardust, captivating audiences with hits like "Starman" and "The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars." His evolution continued with the "plastic soul" sound of "Fame" and "Young Americans," and later the electronic-inflected albums of the Berlin Trilogy.
Bowie's impact expanded beyond music; he became a cinematic force with roles in films like "The Man Who Fell to Earth" (1976) and "Labyrinth" (1986). Achieving commercial zenith with "Let's Dance" (1983), he navigated the 1980s and 1990s with diverse experimentation in music and continued acting endeavors.
Revered for his chameleon-like ability to reinvent his musical persona, Bowie's journey culminated in his final masterpiece, "Blackstar," released just days before his death from liver cancer in 2016.
This biography unravels the enigma of Bowie's artistic genius, exploring the highs and lows, musical transformations, and cinematic contributions that shaped the legacy of the "chameleon of rock.

Received an Advanced Reader Copy from a friend. I am an avid true crime reader and upon completion I question if the author is credible. The timeline does not add up for his age and the times of his alleged involvement in organized crime. Some of the things in the book he is alleged to have said and done I remember almost word for word from movies I had previously watched. He literally stole a scene from the movie the accountant with Ben Affleck and said that he did it. I did a little research after completing the book and learned that this author was also claiming in 2010 that he was a long time member of the Bloods Gang. That coupled with the above leads me to believe that it is nothing more than fantasy. Do not waste your time or money

What a difficult story to tell. I appreciate the honesty and vulnerability. Definitely made me think.
