Classic Pop Presents Magazine

Ten years on from David Bowie’s passing, he is still sorely missed. A truly unique artist, subversive, innovative and fearless in his creativity, Bowie’s influence spread far beyond the world of music and permeated every part of world culture from film and art through to gender and identity politics. Bowie’s music touched the lives of millions of fans, including inspiring numerous superstars that followed behind, Madonna and Duran Duran to Lady Gaga and Pharrell Williams.

In this special updated 10th anniversary issue of Classic Pop Presents, we relive the whole story, charting his provocative and spectacular career decade by decade, from those early steps in the 60s through his many stylistic transformations and on to his solemn and profound final statement, Blackstar. With eye-opening interviews from many of his closest collaborators who discuss their time with Bowie, to examine the making of a lasting and powerful legacy.

Whether the gender fluidity and rock’n’roll edge of Ziggy Stardust and Aladdin Sane, the post-apocalyptic hue of Halloween Jack, the shadowy, black and white frame of the Thin White Duke or via his closing act as the Blind Prophet, he explored every avenue available to him.

David Bowie had a huge and profound effect on all of our lives, an artist unlike any the world has ever seen. Join us in our celebration of rock’n’roll’s ultimate chameleon.
