Biography David

The boy was extremely gifted, although he did not miss the opportunity to arrange a small scandal. Elvis Presley was his first idol: hearing him once, Little David began to spend all pocket money on records. Studying at school, he learned to play on a flute, Ukulel, piano and home -made bass. The boy was interested in the boy. In adolescence, his image began to take shape slowly. At fifteen, David fought with his comrade George Anderwood subsequently became a famous artist who created many well-known rocks for BOUI, including, having received a ring in the eye, spent four months in the hospital.

He did not succeed in getting better: David’s left eye has been very different from the right, and this has become an integral part of his image. When David was 16, he threw the school and told his parents that he had had to sparkle for an hour. Mother, clutching her head, hastily arranged him with an electrician, hoping that he would not have to sparkle in this work.

Young Jones nevertheless did not calm down. The career of his first manager Bowie found himself. He wrote a letter to a certain entrepreneur, offering to become a philanthropist and promote a young but talented artist, as happened with the Beatles once. The entrepreneur reduced him with Leslie Ronn, and he actively took up the advance of young Bowie. For the first few years, David did not perform solo, changing the groups like gloves and releasing not particularly successful singles.

He realized that he needed to change something, and decided to achieve success on his own under the pseudonym David Bowie. He took his last name by an unobvious analogy with Mick Jagger, to whom the musician wanted to be like. From the old English, the word "jagger" is translated as a "knife", and David also decided to be a "knife". Bowie is just the shape of a hunting knife.

In the same way, the second, released in M, - and this despite the fact that even then David was his own in a creative environment, was familiar with many musicians and theatricalists. What is there, he began to slowly invent his own world - Major Tom, for example, for the first time in the song Space Oddity, written as an implicit reference to the film "Space Odyssey" the image made a real sensation from the musician.

The first conceptual album of Bowie, just telling the story of the rise and falls of Siggy Stardast, was released in M ​​and became the first truly successful release of the artist. Alladin Sane, on the cover of which Bowie appeared with a blue-red lightning drawn on one of his eyes, rose even higher. It was thanks to him that the musician first knew the joy of the first chart line.

His next character, the exhausted Duke, appeared in M ​​after the filming of Bowie in the film “The Man who fell to the ground” for this image the musician did not even have to apply a lot of makeup: he himself was extremely exhausted by the rock-roller way of life. Having stopped seeing the line with each other and the characters that he lived, Bowie seriously doubted the health of his own psyche.

In E, the artist succeeded not only in music, but also in the acting field. In m, he spoke on Broadway: despite the fact that among his audience was the killer of John Lennon, in general it was a good experience. The film “We, Children of the ZOO station” is released: here David himself had an episodic role, but his music was in the foreground. Firstly, he held an extensive tour, in which he visited Russia for the third time.

Secondly, Bowie was introduced into the Hall of Fame Rock and Roll. Another loud recognition of his merits was converted to M: he received his own star on the Alley of Glory in Hollywood. In M Bowie was forced to take a break in performances to take care of his own health. Before Go, the musician appeared only at separate events. In the end, he has already tried so many genres: Soul, Jazz, Alternative Rock, Glam.

Perhaps his inspiration ended? However, they were mistaken: in the year, Bowie announced that his album The Next Day would soon be released. In the same year, he refused to give an interview, and in M ​​he learned that he was sick with liver cancer. Until his death, no one except loved ones knew about it. David Bowie died on January 10 in New York a few days after the lap.

His last Blackstar album was released on January 8 of the same year, and one of his singles, no matter how ironic it sounds, was the song about the resurrected Lazar. Bowie will not resurrect: romantics will say that he was not dying, because his songs live in our hearts, and fans of science fiction will say that David flew back into space, from where he arrived.

The musician concluded the first marriage on March 19: his chosen one became Mary Angela Barnett. None of the spouses hid that this was a marriage by calculation and they did not like each other. Despite this, on May 30, the couple had a son Dankan. In M David and Mary divorced, Dankana was raised by his father. With Iman, a dark -skinned Somali model, David met in M ​​on the birthday of a common acquaintance.

Later, the musician said that it was love at first sight. According to the musician, he himself could not believe that everything was so simple.The lovers concluded marriage two years after acquaintance, and in M ​​they had a daughter Alexander Lexi Zahra Jones. Iman remained with her husband to the last, and today she refuses to call him deceased. Apparently, this is exactly what love looks, which is stronger than death.
