Shortlisted for the NME Best Music Book Award 2018 THE SUNDAY TIMES
BESTSELLER 'The definitive book on Bowie' The Times 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 is the
definitive oral history of his remarkable rise to stardom and his
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
salacious, 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.
