Peter Ormerod and Alexander Larman David Bowie: Starman

Bowie, arguably one of the biggest influences on music in the 20th century, died 10 years ago this year. Always changing and developing, his vision was unique. Two biographers of this music icon discuss his life and work. Peter Ormerod brings us the story of how Bowie’s ceaseless search for meaning through religions helped give his songs the timelessness and depth that continue to speak to so many people. Alex Larman explores the second half of his career from commercial failure to re-establishing himself as the powerhouse that has now made him a musical legend.
