Happy birthday, Rick Wakeman. With thanks for the interview and support for our fanzine. Have a great day!

What a brilliant night yesterday. Nicholas Pegg's talk, David Bowie, Lindsay Kemp and the birth of Ziggy Stardust was equal parts fascinating, insightful and hilarious! And it was fabulous to catch up with the brilliant Kevin Cann, too.

Next Friday night, this is the only place to be! Nicholas Pegg on Lindsay Kemp and the birth of Ziggy Stardust. I saw a short version of the show and I can tell you, it is brilliant! Hope to say hi to you there! cranleigharts.org/event/david-...

Bowie + Mick Ronson or Bowie + Brian Eno Ronno helped shape the rise of Bowie’s rise. Eno helped Bowie break the rulebook and reinvent himself - again! My book was largely about Bowie's partnerships. Which (of these) partnerships do you think brought out the very best in Bowie?

On his birthday, I want to thank Carlos Alomar. For appearing at the NYC and Liverpool conventions for us, which led to the wonderful tour last year. For writing the foreword for issue two of the fanzine. For being interviewed. And of course, for all the wonderful music. Happy birthday, Carlos!

Wherever I go, I see Bowie album covers!

Eagles & albatrosses! Butterflies & bandages! David Hockney & Derek Jarman! Andy Warhol & Oscar Wilde! Marc Bolan & Marc Almond! Lionel Bart & Leonard Rossiter! Transit vans & Tibetan Buddhism! Oh, and plenty of David Bowie too. Join me in Cranleigh on 15th May. Tickets here: tinyurl.com/45w2x75b

Unpopular Bowie opinion time! Do you have an off the wall opinion about Bowie? Maybe you think Lodger is the best "Berlin" album. Or Pin Ups is better than Aladdin Sane Or Time Will Crawl is in your top ten? Or....?

The BBC is planning a major Bowie celebration concert in 2026 to fill the gap left by Glastonbury’s fallow year. It is expected to take place at London’s O2 Arena, feature a range of artists performing Bowie’s music, and be broadcast around the world. Which artists would you like to see take part?

Which Bowie song improves the most when played live? - Ziggy Stardust - Station to Station - "Heroes" Or something else entirely?

In June, a very special 50th anniversary celebration of Low & The Idiot takes place at Château d’Hérouville, in the studio in which they were recorded, with Carlos Alomar in attendance. A rare chance to experience music history where it happened. Info & tickets: my.weezevent.com/david-bowie-...

What is the best opening line to a Bowie song? - "She's a tongue twisting storm"? - "Still don't know what I was waiting for"? - "It's a god-awful small affair"? - "I'm home. Lost my job. And incurably ill"? Or something else?

Happy birthday to the one and only Carmine Rojas! 🎸 Beyond the glorious music, Andy and I have so much to thank him for: a brilliant four-page interview for issue 4 and joining us at our New York convention in 2023. Have a great one, Carmine! 🎉

So, who is in your ultimate Bowie band? We can have two guitarists (one rhythm, one lead) a bass player, a drummer, a keyboard player or pianist and a saxophonist. I know who I'm choosing.

This just in from the Bowie Centre: No ticket needed! +++ We are happy to announce that from Tuesday 3 February you can visit the David Bowie Centre without the need to book a timed ticket.

Whats the perfect compilation of tracks from the "Berlin" trilogy? All vocal? A mix? Shall we say 11 tracks?

Wishing a happy birthday to Kevin Armstrong! @armstrongk.bsky.social

Today was an amazing day. #BritishLibrary #DavidBowieInTime @britishlibrary.bsky.social @albumtoalbum.bsky.social

Great news for our friend and playwright Mark Wheeller: CAN YOU HEAR ME MAJOR TOM? has been taken on by a small publisher as a downloadable script. Wishing it every success. Very well deserved. 🚀🎭

Ten years since David Bowie died today. Still feels strange to say it. His work hasn’t faded into nostalgia . It keeps unfolding, revealing new meanings with time. Bowie remains present: in the music, the ideas, and the permission he gave so many to be themselves.

As well as being David Bowie’s birthday, today marks 10 years since Blackstar. For me, it’s his magnum opus; impossible to compare with his other works. Often a hard listen, yet forward-looking: unresolved, abrasive, deeply beautiful. Bowie was pushing boundaries right to the end.

Paul Magrs' play on Radio 4, The Goblin King and Me, is truly wonderful. Do take 45 minutes to have a listen. www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/...

Happy birthday, David Bowie.

Tomorrow on BBC Radio 4: The Goblin King and Me by Paul Magrs; a drama inspired by a real-life encounter with David Bowie. A young boy meets Bowie at a pivotal moment and receives advice that quietly changes his life. 📻 Drama on 4 | Thurs 8 Jan, 14.15.

A very happy birthday to Guy Pratt, the last bass players to play live with David Bowie.

This new documentary is about to be shown on Channel 4 in the UK. I saw the film last week and posted a short reflection about it. I'd be really interested to know what everyone thinks if it. Please let me know in the comments.

I've just ordered two more compilations to go with these. What could they be?

Bowie: The Final Act is moving and accessible despite skimming Bowie’s ’90s innovations to fit a “resurrection” arc. Visconti, Garson, Gabrels & co. add weight, and the Blackstar finale delivers. Not perfect but powerful.

Film is on at one o'clock. I'll let you know what I think.

Generally positive @guardian review of Bowie: The Final Act. Not sure about the claim that the 90s/00s “weren’t Bowie’s golden years”. Many of us see Buddha, Outside, Earthling & Hours… as a creative renaissance after an unchallenging 80s. Still, it will be an interesting watch.

David Bowie gifts. Did you get anything Bowie related?

Happy Christmas, everyone!

Happy birthday Adrian Belew. The guitarist whose jagged stylings made Bowie’s late-’70s music mutate. Fearless.

17 December 1971. Hunky Dory is released. Bowie's last album for a while not to be presented in character. Pop, poetry, parody and prophecy. Artists, outsiders, dreams and masks. And not a wasted second. Every song a classic. Still dazzling and strange. #HunkyDory #DavidBowie #OnThisDay

What makes a great holiday gift for that glam rock lover in your life? The NYT bestselling and 2x Eisner winning BOWIE: STARDUST, RAYGUNS & MOONAGE DAYDREAMS by me and @allredmd.bsky.social and Laura Allred: (1/2)

I’m delighted and honoured to be a part of this event at @britishlibrary.bsky.social on Saturday 17th January. A day dedicated to David Bowie, with live music and very special guests.

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!
