ZIGGYOLOGY

He came from Outer Space...It was the greatest invention in the history of pop m
usic - the rock god who came from the stars - which struck a young David Bowie l
ike a lightning bolt from the heavens. When Ziggy the glam alien messiah fell to
Earth, he transformed Bowie from a prodigy to a superstar who changed the face
of music forever. But who was Ziggy Stardust? And where did he really come from?
In a work of supreme pop archaeology, Simon Goddard unearths every influence th
at brought Ziggy to life - from HG Wells to Holst, Kabuki to Kubrick, and Elvis
to Iggy.
