Bowie: A Biography

One of the most protean figures in rock music, David Bowie remains, even when lying low, a source of endless fascination to his considerable fanbase. What is the state of his health? Is he working on a new album? Will he tour again? And the story of his life is one of amazing and tireless self re-invention. But it is fifteen years since the last comprehensive biography, and more than time for a new one. Marc Spitz has now produced just that. Long enough to cover every aspect of Bowie's life, but equally not an oversize product of obsession, this is a readable, quirky, assiduous book that every Bowie fan will want to read.
