Dylan Jones's engrossing, magisterial biography of David Bowie is unlike any Bowie story ever written. Drawn from over 180 interviews with friends, rivals, lovers, and collaborators, some of whom have never before spoken about their relationship with Bowie, this oral history weaves a hypnotic spell as it unfolds the story of a remarkable rise to stardom and an unparalleled artistic path. Tracing Bowie's life from the English suburbs to London to New York to Los Angeles, Berlin, and beyond, its collective voices describe a man profoundly shaped by his relationship with his schizophrenic half-brother Terry; an intuitive artist who could absorb influences through intense relationships and yet drop people cold when they were no longer of use; and a social creature equally comfortable partying with John Lennon and dining with Frank Sinatra. By turns insightful and deliciously gossipy, David Bowie is as intimate a portrait as may ever be drawn. It sparks with admiration and grievances, lust and envy, as the speakers bring you into studios and bedrooms they shared with Bowie, and onto stages and film sets, opening corners of his mind and experience that transform our understanding of both artist and art. Including illuminating, never-before-seen material from Bowie himself, drawn from a series of Jones's interviews with him across two decades, David Bowie is an epic, unforgettable cocktail-party conversation about a man whose enigmatic shapeshifting and irrepressible creativity produced one of the most sprawling, fascinating lives of our time.

Tracing his journey across continents and personas, it explores the albums, characters, and groundbreaking sounds that turned Bowie into a cultural force. Glam rock, soul, avant garde experimentation-nothing was off limits for a mind forever chasing the next frontier. A vivid, immersive portrait of a man who made transformation an art form, this is the story of Bowie at his most daring, inventive, and unforgettable. With dozens of rarely seen photographs this book gives Bowie fans new insights at every stage. Includes a foreword by music writer and record producer Richard Morton Jack and an interview with Sefi Carmel, composer, producer and sound mixer.

David Bowies død sendte chokbølger igennem millioner af mennesker verden over. Dette fyrtårn i moderne kultur er nu slukket for evigt.Han var en af de største personligheder i efterkrigstiden. Som en hjørnesten i rockhistorien var David Bowie helt frem til Blackstar i 2016 konstant søgende og udfordrende; ofte kopieret, sjældent overgået. Han udgav musik i seks årtier, men bevægede sig oftest i sin egen tid uden for tiden.Musikken var hans hjemmebane, men hans betydning bredte sig i utallige kunstneriske retninger. Han var et forbillede, et stilikon og en moderne far, og helt unikt appellerer han til både unge og ældre overalt. Jan Poulsen har fulgt David Bowie siden 1973.Han har interviewet og mødt ham flere gange, og i bogen følger han ikonet igennem hele karrieren. Han beretter om de mange ansigter og udtryk, om musikken, filmene og billedkunsten. Om succes og seksualitet, fiasko og frustrationer, og om det overraskende comeback i 2013 og tiden op til tusindkunstnerens uventede død i januar 2016.Jan Poulsen forsøger endvidere at placere Bowie i en større kulturel sammenhæng og kommer med talrige eksempler på hans store betydning i og for dansk kultur. Bogen er rigt illustreret med sjældne fotos, og som noget enestående medfølger en komplet fortegnelse over David Bowies plader, film og optrædener på dansk jord.

First advertised as a “mind-stretching experience,” Nicolas Roeg’s 1976 The Man Who Fell to Earth stunned the cinema world. A tour-de-force of science fiction as art form , the movie brought not only hallucinatory visuals and a haunting exploration of contemporary alienation, but also glam-rock legend David Bowie in his lead role debut as paranoid alien Newton. Based on Walter Tevis’s 1963 sci-fi fable of the same title, The Man Who Fell to Earth follows alien Newton from his arrival on earth in search of water; his transition to wealthy entrepreneur, leveraging the advanced technologies of his native planet; his sexual awakening with the young Mary-Lou; and then the discovery of his alien identity, his imprisonment, abandonment, and descent into alcoholism. Throughout, Roeg coaxed a beguiling performance from his cast, presenting not only Bowie in ethereal space-traveler glory, but also pitch-perfect supporting performances from Candy Clark, Rip Torn, and Buck Henry. TASCHEN’s The Man Who Fell to Earth presents a plenitude of stills and behind-the-scenes images by unit photographer David James, including numerous shots of Bowie at his playful and ambiguous best. A fresh introductory essay explores the shooting of the film and its lasting impact, drawing upon an exclusive interview with David James, who brings first-hand insights into the making of this sci-fi masterwork.

Nyskrevet biografi om David Bowie er helt anderledes end de bøger, der tidligere er udgivet om den berømte rockstjerne. Biografien er researchet og skrevet efter Bowies død, og den berømte engelske journalist Dylan Jones har interviewet over 180 kilder tæt på legenden. Venner og rivaler, elskere, fans og samarbejdspartnere, og nogle af dem har aldrig tidligere talt om deres forhold til Bowie. Biografien udfolder fortællingen om forstadsdrengens vej til stjernerne, hans kunstneriske og personlige udvikling, formet af forholdet til sin skizofrene halvbror. Vi følger en arbejdsom Bowie, der kunne skabe revolutionerende musik, men også var en beregnende personlighed, der koldt kunne forlade sine kammerater, når han ikke længere havde brug for dem. Et socialt dyr, der bevægede sig rundt i alle miljøer. Feste med John Lennon, spise middag med Frank Sinatra og danse med Susan Sarandon. Bowie kunne det hele. Kilderne tager læseren med ind i de filmstudier, musikscener, stuer og soveværelser, de delte med Bowie. En stærk fortælling om en mand, der gennem 40 år bevægede millioner af fans over hele verden.
