ZIGGY L'ANDROGYNE A l'aube des années soixante-dix, Bowie rentre dans la peau d'un étrange mutant: le mythe Ziggy est né!

By 1987, David Bowie was at a creative, critical, and commercial low. His most recent album was dismissed by the music press, his latest tour written off as a disaster. Fifteen years after becoming the most colourfully controversial superstar in recent rock history, Bowie was seen as a spent force. Almost twenty years later, Bowie has re - established himself at the very peak of his profession in one of the most extraordinary comebacks in rock history. His 1995 release of the critically - astonishing "1: Outside" album has been followed by equally groundbreaking efforts. He is a content family man, married to super - model Iman, and one of the richest musicians in the world. While most biographies on Bowie still focus on his early years, "Hallo Spaceboy: The Rebirth of David Bowie" is the first to chronicle the comeback in detail. Drawing upon exclusive interviews with fans, colleagues and associates, it is also the long - gestating follow - up to Dave Thompson's "Moonage Daydream" (1987), widely hailed among the best David Bowie biographies.
