David Bowie

”Jag har inget till övers för glamour. Det känns som en löjlig sak att sträva efter. Jag kunde inte bry mig mindre. Ett par rena skor borde räcka alldeles utmärkt.” - David BowieI dessa intervjuer, sammanförda från hela hans sagolika karriär – däribland hans första vid sexton års ålder, liksom hans sista decennier senare – diskuterar David Bowie sin barndom i södra Londons tuffa kvarter, låtskrivande, hans problem med drogmissbruk, Andy Warhols inflytande, sexualitet, hans filmer, mode, samarbetet med Brian Eno, vänskapen med John Lennon, med mera. Ständigt lika välformulerad, och med en intelligens lika skarp som hans tunga, visar Bowie här varför han i alla lägen betraktades som före sin tid – både som konstskapare och kulturell kommentator.” Han var underbart skamlös i sitt skapande” - Mick Jagger”Så orädd, så kreativ. Han gav oss magi för en livstid.” - Kanye West”En verkligt stor artist, ljuvlig melodiskapare och elegant gentleman.” - Elvis Costello

‘The closest we’ll ever get to a straight up Bowie autobiography — but who’d ever want anything straight-up from Bowie?’ – Rolling Stone In 2002, David Bowie and Mick Rock created Moonage Daydream, the defining document of the life and times of Ziggy Stardust. Twenty years later, it remains the closest readers will get to understanding Bowie through his own words. Alongside over 600 photographs taken by Mick Rock, Bowie’s personal and often humorous commentary gives unprecedented insight into his work and the creation of his most memorable persona. Readers can see how Bowie singlehandedly challenged and elevated 1970s culture through his style, his inspirations ranging from Kubrick to Kabuki, and his creative spirit, which endures through the decades. Moonage Daydream is the essential David Bowie book. First published as a signed limited edition, Moonage Daydream sold out in a matter of months and became lore among David Bowie fans. Now, on the 50th anniversary of Bowie’s acclaimed album, The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars, the book is available again. Published in a new larger format, this uncut edition keeps to Bowie and Rock’s original vision, allowing us to explore Moonage Daydream the way the authors intended. ‘This is a book of extraordinary photographs. Ziggy Stardust blazed briefly but intensely, and I am delighted to see his life and times as a rock’n’roll star immortalised in this book.’ – David Bowie

I løpet av en femti år lang karriere ga David Bowie (1947–2016) et svimlende antall intervjuer, til det en dag brått var slutt. Fra midten av 2000-tallet uttalte han seg ikke offentlig lenger. Denne boka består av åtte nedslagspunkter, fra 1964 til 2006, fra den gangen Bowie mer enn gjerne snakket, om alt fra musikk, design, kunst, men også om private anliggender. Som intervjuobjekt var han morsom og lo ofte. Først og fremst var han påfallende smart og orientert. Og stilte gjerne de beste spørsmålene selv. Inkludert i denne norske utgaven er et intervju fra 1990, da NRK snakket med Bowie i forkant av en konsert. NRKs møte med legenden ble en selsom og småsvett affære. Etter tre timers venting dukket Bowie først opp idet konserten skulle begynne. NRKs Vera Kvaal så godt hun kunne, og startet med et langt og intrikat spørsmål. Svaret Bowie ga, var kort. Knappe kvarteret senere var et kultintervju en realitet.

An out-of-this-world hit musical from the late cultural icon David Bowie and award-winning playwright Enda Walsh.

'I'm a dying man who can't die.' Thomas Newton came to Earth seeking water for his drought-ridden planet. Years later he's still stranded here, soaked in cheap gin and haunted by a past love. But the arrival of another lost soul brings one last chance of freedom... Inspired by the book The Man Who Fell to Earth by Walter Tevis and its cult film adaptation starring David Bowie, Lazarus brings the story of Thomas Newton to its devastating conclusion. Written by Bowie with the playwright Enda Walsh, and incorporating some of Bowie's most iconic songs, Lazarus was first performed at New York Theatre Workshop in 2015, starring Michael C. Hall and directed by Ivo Van Hove. The production transferred to London in 2016.
