From an amazing night yesterday in Bristol. What a band!

I was privileged to be able to take photo last night at the amazing The D.A.M Trilogy Tour show at the Barbican, London. What a night.

With two legendary bass players! Guy Pratt, George Murray. The D.A.M Trilogy Tour David Bowie @thedamtour.bsky.social @davidbowiereal.bsky.social

Happy birthday, Gail Ann Dorsey! Gail has been amazing over the years, supporting David Bowie: Glamour The Fanzine with a lengthy interview and appearing at the inaugural iteration of the David Bowie convention that we founded. She also shares a birthday with me! Have a great day, Gail!

Great to see David Bowie: The Collector among the brilliant @mcnidderandgrace.bsky.social titles at Louder Than Words this weekend. Thanks to Andy, Caroline and the M&G team for flying the flag for music writing! 🎶📚 @lthanwordsfest.bsky.social

Meeting Woody Woodmansey at a book signing in Bath nine years ago was the moment I realised our Bowie fanzine was really going to happen. I told him Andy and I were starting one, and he said to get in touch if we needed anything. He has been amazing ever since. Cheers, Woody! 🥁✨

Help me, Bowie friends! I want to view handwritten Hunky Dory lyrics (DBA/2/1/3/1) when I visit the Bowie Centre next week. Do I have to order them up in the same way as if I was ordering a costume? I'm having a nightmare getting my head around it! -Nick

Happy Halloween

I'm very sad to hear that our friend Des Henly has passed away. Just weeks ago he called me, full of life. With his band Fumble, he toured the US with Bowie on the Ziggy Stardust tour and kindly shared Sean Mayes’s tour diary with us for issue 4. A lovely man. we’ll miss him. – Nick

Remembering Sylvia Plath on what would have been her 93rd birthday. Her powerful poetry and prose continue to inspire. #SylviaPlath #Poetry #LiteraryLegacy

The Creative Personas display at the V&A is wonderful. They couldn't include everything, of course. Which personas would you like to see displayed in the future?

Couldn’t find it at Waterstones in London the other day, but look what just landed on my doormat in the Netherlands. Looking forward to read it! @quietseclusion.bsky.social

Wishing a very happy birthday to Zachary Alford. Thank you for your interview and all your support.

Looks like they opened it a little early. Thus 2882 Bowie fans got in before me!

💥 OUT NOW! As Carlos Alomar reunites with George Murray for the DAM Trilogy tour this Fall, we meet to talk Bowie, soul, the pocket, the groove and just how Carlos, Dennis and George fuelled Bowie's musical evolutions between '75 - '80. Dig in and dig! 💥 podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/d...

It's the 52nd anniversary of the release of Pin Ups My copy is Japanese. Not sure where I got it. I think it may have been a Christmas gift in 1981 Photographer Justin de Villeneuve kindly agreed to my request to write a piece for issue 9 Not everyone feels the same way, but I adore this album.

Wishing a very happy birthday to Mark Plati Aside from all the amazing music, I am grateful to Mark for: Agreeing to my request for an interview for the fanzine Agreeing to my request to appear at our Bowie convention in New York Agreeing to write some lovely praise for my book. Thank you Mark!

So, what's on your David Bowie playlist today?

If Ziggy Stardust and Hunky Dory were one album, which twelve tracks would make the cut?

Kansai Yamamoto’s asymmetric bodysuit, crafted for Bowie in 1973, became iconic in the Ziggy/Aladdin era. Inspired by Kabuki theatre and the yin–yang of opposites, it captured duality: masculine/feminine, human/alien, chaos/control. ⚡ #DavidBowie

🎉 Happy Birthday to the brilliant Tim Palmer — producer of the two Tin Machine albums that re-energised Bowie’s career! 🎸 Tim also joined us at the New York Bowie convention we curated. We’re sharing photos from his six-page interview in issue 6 of David Bowie Glamour. #DavidBowie #TimPalmer

Out now! Text in French. Amazing photos! Recommended.

Wishing a happy birthday to Louise Lecavalier.

At the David Bowie Centre I came across something truly remarkable: an original drawing by Bowie of his final character. Is the character called the Blind Prophet or Button Eyes? Bowie himself settled the question once and for all. Check out the picture. 👀 #DavidBowie #Blackstar

Happy birthday to Earl Slick. A great supporter of the fanzine. Here's the title page of the major interview he kindly did for issue seven - and a photo of him holding issue 6! Thanks, Slicky!

His greatest live album IMHO. Released today in 1978.

On this day in Bowie history (29 Sept 1990): Bowie closed his Sound+Vision Tour at River Plate Stadium, Buenos Aires, promising to retire his greatest hits. He ended with Rock ’n’ Roll Suicide; a fitting farewell before a new ’90s era. (Here’s my ticket from earlier in the tour)

“By the time I got to New York…” On Sept 28, 1972, Bowie made his NYC debut at Carnegie Hall. Ziggy, the Spiders, and a star-studded crowd—Warhol, Capote, Radziwill, Rundgren—watched Bowie deliver a set of Ziggy and Hunky Dory classics. A night that marked the start of his U.S. breakthrough.

Spotted at the new V&A East Storehouse: Brian Eno’s Oblique Strategies cards. Bowie & Eno drew on these during the Berlin years; cryptic prompts that could shift an entire song. A humble deck of cards behind Low and “Heroes”.

Wishing a very happy 74th birthday to Tony Sales! 🥳 I interviewed him for issue 3 of the fanzine—he was generous, engaging, and shared how Bowie lit up with the idea of a band after Glass Spider. Bowie’s history would be very different without him. 🎂

Happy birthday to the one and only Angie Bowie! 🎂✨ A true force of nature, I had the privilege of interviewing her for Issue 7 of DBG & she was as candid, funny, and insightful as you’d expect. Wishing you a wonderful day, Angie. Here’s to celebrating your unique place in the Bowie story. 💫 -Nick

Today marks 30 years of Bowie’s 1. Outside! Released 25 Sept 1995, it was an ambitious, avant-garde return to form with Brian Eno. A complex journey of art & narrative—the first of the 'best since Scary Monsters' albums! 📸 John Scarisbrick’s photos set the tone (seen here in the fanzine). ⚡️🎶

Another Bowie fan visits the amazing archive at the V&A East Shorehouse. Madonna.

Celebrating 41 years of David Bowie's Tonight album! Released on this day in 1984, this album might not be hailed as Bowie's best by most fans, but it certainly has some gems. Among its tracks, the two Bowie wrote alone stand out, don't you think? 🎸⚡️🌃 #DavidBowie #Tonight #bowieforever

✨ The Mona Lisa of Pop ✨ The original Aladdin Sane (Eyes Closed) artwork by Brian Duffy goes to auction at Bonhams this Oct. Alongside Duffy’s camera, contact sheets & even the stool Bowie sat on. 📍 London, 22 Oct – 5 Nov 💸 Est. £250k–£300k #DavidBowie #AladdinSane #DuffyArchive

🎸 On this day in 1972, Bowie kicked off his North American Ziggy Stardust Tour in Cleveland – his first U.S. show & first with Mike Garson! Blast Starman today & celebrate the cosmic genius. 🚀✨ #DavidBowie #ZiggyStardust #OnThisDay

✨ On this day in 1999, Bowie released hours…, his reflective farewell to the ’90s with Reeves Gabrels & one of the first major albums to drop online. Fun fact: Graham’s hours… piece was the first I (Nick) designed for David Bowie: Glamour. #DavidBowie #OnThisDay

Happy birthday to the amazing Catherine Russell 🎉🎶 Brilliant vocalist & multi-instrumentalist with David Bowie, and so generous in giving us a major interview for David Bowie Glamour fanzine. Have a fantastic day, Catherine!

This amazing music box for storing jewelry was sent to David by a fan and treasured by him.

At the V&A East’s new David Bowie Centre, I came across the EMS Synthi AKS, the suitcase-sized synth behind Low, “Heroes” and Lodger. A small machine that helped reshape the sound of the 1970s.

David Bowie costumes at the Victoria and Albert Museum East Storehouse.

Still buzzing from yesterday’s press preview of the David Bowie Centre at V&A East Storehouse. Here’s my video tour of this dream come true for Bowie fans! www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZBDY...

It's crazy to think that the many treasures on show yesterday Centre are just a taste. Bowie's Harptone 12-string, used on the Ziggy tour and Space Oddity video. Fans, researchers and creatives are blessed by what the V&A and partners have brought to us. I hope to visit regularly and often.

A selection from David Bowie's collection of David Bowie badges! Shared with attendees at the V&A East Storehouse at the launch event yesterday. This place is stunning and an unbelievably rich resource for everyone working on Bowie. Sincere congratulations and thanks all who have nurtured it.

✨ Step inside the brand new David Bowie Centre with me for a first look at this unforgettable celebration of Bowie’s creativity and legacy.

Face to face with...one of Bowie's iconic costumes from SNL 1979!

✨ Truly special to see my book included in the new display at the David Bowie Centre for the Study of Performing Arts. An unforgettable day! #DavidBowieCentre #DavidBowieArchive #DavidBowie
