Answer 1

David Bowie was born David Robert Jones in Brixton, South London. He developed an interest in music early on and began playing the saxophone aged 13. At 16, he started a career as a commercial artist, singing and playing with rock bands in his spare time. By 1966, Jones had recorded singles with three different groups and decided to set out on his own as a solo act. He decided on the stage name, David Bowie, to avoid confusion with Davy Jones (of pop group 'The Monkees'). 


After recording an unsuccessful solo album, Bowie dropped out of the music business for a spell, and began to study mime. In 1969, he formed his own mime troupe, Feathers, as well as an experimental art ensemble. 

Neither was commercially successful, so Bowie signed a deal to record another album, which included the offbeat 'Space Odyssey'. 

Bowie's next album, 1970s 'The Man Who Sold the World', represented a move toward a harder rock sound and, in 1972, he scored his breakthrough with 'The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust' and 'The Spiders From Mars', a concept album about a sexually ambiguous rock star from outer space. 

Released as the glam rock scene was beginning to peak, Ziggy Stardust made Bowie a full-fledged superstar, in both England and the United States. Bowie was to become as famous for his campy cross-dressing and different coloured eyes, (the result of a schoolyard fight that left one pupil permanently enlarged) as for his dramatic sound.
