LAzarus : the second coming of David Bowie
Larman, Alexander, 1981-2026
Book
When David Bowie died on 10 January 2016, aged 69, his death was greeted with the greatest display of public mourning since Princess Diana three decades before. 25 years before, Bowie appeared to be washed up. His Eighties career had been a slow descent into self-parody, his attempts to diversify into hard rock had been disastrous, and the art-rock music with which he had made his name was badly out of fashion. The Thin White Duke needed a miracle if he was not only going to be able to assume his rightful place at the top of the rock music firmament, but even to continue his career. And a miracle - a resurrection from the dead - is precisely what happened. This biography of Bowie tells the full and candid story of what happened in between those two apparently unbridgeable points.
