Strange Fascination
Strange Fascination: David Bowie: The Definitive Story | David Buckley
10 posts | 12 to read
The Sunday Times bestseller. David Bowie was arguably the most influential artist of his time, reinventing himself again and again, transforming music, style and art for over five decades. David Buckley's unique approach to unravelling the Bowie enigma, via interviews with many of the singer's closest associates, biography and academic analysis, makes this unrivalled biography a classic for Bowie fans old and new. This revised edition of Strange Fascination captures exclusive details about the tours, the making of the albums, the arguments, the split-ups, the music and, most importantly, the man himself. Also including exclusive photographic material, Strange Fascination is the most complete account of David Bowie and his impact on pop culture ever written.

Back to Bowie 😀 Strange Fascination - a quote from #Changes
This is THE book (hubby's emphasis) to read about Bowie's life up to 1999. Brilliantly reasearched, well written and an overall splendid read.
Notes left for me by hubby this morning!

Readingrobin I've appreciated his music more as an adult because when I was a teen, "Let's Dance" was all over radio! 7y
quirkyreader Bowie's music has gotten me through the rough patches in my life. I still can't get over his passing. 7y
Cinfhen Painting is brilliant ~ always wish I got to see Bowie perform live💔what a genius 🎶 7y
TrishB @batsy @mjdowens she is a very talented friend 👍 7y

Both Elvis Presley and David Bowie were born on this day, January 8. They are two of my longtime favorites so I've always thought it was cool that they shared a birthday. Here are a few books from my shelves about Bowie or Elvis. #musicbooks

Hobbinol ⚡️❤⚡️❤⚡️BOWIE❗️ 7y
MallenNC @Hobbinol Love him so much! 7y
Hobbinol I only got to see him once: Glass Spider Tour at Dorton Arena in Raleigh. 7y
MallenNC @Hobbinol Jealous! He never came around on tour when I could've gone. 7y
