About David BowieInnovative multi-genre star David Bowie (also known as Ziggy Stardust and The Thin White Duke) has sold an estimated 136 million albums worldwide since bursting onto the scene as a 17 year old in 1964. To date Bowie has released 25 studio albums, and is best known for tracks like Space Oddity, Life On Mars, Dancing In The Street and his collaboration with Queen, Under Pressure. Often controversial, Bowie has stated fascist leanings (including praising Adolf Hitler), but also contributed large sums to the legal defense of young black teenagers. Bowie's bisexuality is notorious, and first wife Angela is said to have met him as they were both sleeping with the same man. As well as his mammoth music career, he's also starred in numerous films, including blockbuster hits Zoolander, Yellowbeard and The Prestige. His imagery and sound influence runs deep through pop culture.
