Chameleon of rock music
David Bowie is one of the most famous musicians of the twentieth century.
According to most critics, the largest cult in popular culture has emerged around him.
The impact that Bowie had on society is unique: he changed more destinies than all the musicians combined.
This was made possible thanks to Bowie's constant transformations: he left a mark in all popular genres of music, alternating images of a folk singer, a hermaphrodite, an alien, a decadent, a blue eyed boy and a modern rock star.
Author: Andrey Puminov Website: Celebrities
Early years
David Bowie (born David Jones) was born in the Brixton area of London on January 8, 1947.
David's father worked in human resources, and his mother was an usher at a movie theater.
School teachers described him as a gifted, but pugnacious and restless boy.
Since 1953, the family began to live in Bromley, where David went to secondary school.
Here he actively participated in the school choir, impressing teachers with his abilities.
Teachers noted the extraordinary artistry and expression, which is not typical for a child.
Interest in music increased when David acquired several records of American rock artists.
Among them were 'The Platters', Elvis Presley, 'Fats Domino', Little Richard.
After Bowie heard the famous song 'Tutti Frutti', he claimed that he heard the voice of God.
He no longer doubted that he should become a pop star, and many years later he admitted that he had always been under the power of some higher power.
In his youth, another event occurred that influenced the image of the shocking musician.
At school, he got into a fight with his friend, who accidentally hit him in the eye with a ring.
Bowie underwent surgery, but his vision could not be fully restored.
As a result of the transformation of the pupil, it seemed that David had a different eye color.
Subsequently, this gave rise to some people with a developed imagination to claim that Bowie is an alien, because he even has different eyes.
David started playing musical instruments very early.
At first it was acoustic, then bass guitar and ukulele, then piano.
At the age of 15, he assembled his first band, with which he began to play rock and roll at various events.
Bowie failed his exams at school and entered Bromley College, but left a year later, telling his parents that he intended to become a pop star.
Worldwide popularity
After learning that the frontman of the famous band 'The Monkees' is called Davey Jones, David took the pseudonym Bowie in honor of hunting knives to avoid confusion.
He chose this pseudonym for himself when he learned that the last name of his favorite musician Mick Jagger means 'knife'in translation.
Bowie began his musical career back in the 60s.
His innovative approach to stage performances
leniy gave an impetus to the development of the glam rock style.
Discussions about whether glam should be considered a direction in music are still ongoing, but it is clear that David has changed his approach to rock and roll, made it more glamorous and outrageous.
Bowie gained worldwide fame in 1975 after the release of the single 'Fame' and the album 'Young Americans', which became a real hit.
At this time, he performed in his most famous image of an Emaciated White Duke.
In the 70s, his youthful addiction to cocaine increased, but did not affect his work in any way.
In 1976, Bowie went to Switzerland, and after a while to Germany, where he created his famous "Berlin trilogy".
It includes the albums 'Low' (1977), 'Heroes' (1977) and 'Lodger' (1979).
In the 1980s, the influence of the rock musician increased.
In 1980, the album 'Scary Monsters (and Super Creeps)' appeared', and in 1983 – 'Let's Dance'.
They brought Bowie not only fame and recognition, but also a huge profit.
David began collaborating with famous musicians.
For example, with 'Queen' he worked on the release of 'Under Pressure', which became on
that was a hit and hit the top of the UK charts.
The musician has also performed together with Iggy Pop, Mick Jagger, Stevie Ray Vaughan and other artists.
In the 1990s, David Bowie continued to experiment with styles.
His albums 'Outside' (1995) and 'Earthling' (1997), which received good reviews in the press, were marked by the influences of industrial, electronic music, drum and bass, hip hop.
The musician also continued to experiment with such styles as jungle and soul.
In 2003, the CD 'Reality' was released, and three years later, David announced that he was taking a short vacation due to illness.
Doctors diagnosed him with a pinched nerve and performed an operation.
His next album 'The Next Day' was released only in 2013.
Personal life
The personal life of the most unusual musician in the world has always been in the field of view of journalists.
It is known that Bowie first married in 1970 to model Angela Barnett.
According to David, they were very similar to each other.
A year later, the couple had a son, Zoe, who later became a film director.
One of the most discussed topics in these years would be
la sexual orientation of the musician.
The fact is that Bowie gave different answers to different publications.
So, in an interview with Michael Watts, he said that he was gay, and in 1976 he told Playboy magazine that he was bisexual.
In the 1980s, David denied all his statements, and in the 2000s, answering questions to the magazine 'Blender', he got confused at all, saying that at the beginning of his career he probably felt some kind of bisexuality, but now he is definitely heterosexual.
Bowie divorced Barnett in 1980, and in 1992 he married another model, Iman Abdulmajid.
In 2000, the couple had a daughter, Alexandra Zahra.
The family lives in London and in New York.
David is incredibly happy and says that his daughter has changed his life.
In addition to music, Bowie is actively acting in films.
He has played many roles, but there are few really good ones in his career.
David is ironic that he is usually offered the roles of transvestites, possessed or Martians.
And he wants to play normal people, because he is quite normal himself.
According to Bowie, he is not a prophet and not a person from the past.
He is a simple mortal with the makings of a superman.
And he's still alive
