What's This Book About

Publisher Summary

Find out how this English singer-songwriter and actor who constantly reinvented his look and sound became one of the most influential musicians of the twentieth century in this new book from the #1 New York Times bestselling series. David Bowie, born David Robert Jones, wasn’t just an incredible singer; he had an amazing talent for keeping his fans happily guessing about what he would do next. He alternated between musical genres with ease, established a successful acting career, and even created a legendary persona–the rocker alien Ziggy Stardust–that people still dress up as for Halloween each year. Author Margaret Gurevich takes readers through David Bowie’s life and shows exactly why he is an inspiration to many people and is celebrated all over the world.
