BOWIE: THE UNTOLD STORY OF HIS BIGGEST EVER HIT
What do you do when you've reinvented yourself, and music, on an annual basis for the best part of a decade, only to find that everyone else is now cashing in on your synthesized innovations? For David Bowie in 1983 the solution, as ever, was to go against the grain. “So much of the music that’s being made at the moment is very earnest,” he opined to one interviewer
in May that year. “It doesn’t have that quality of necessity that music used
