Such wattage! David Bowie’s star hasn’t dimmed since his death in January 2016. Barely a month passes without the release of a handsome box set or a pricey picture disc. There are photobooks, exhibitions, postage stamps. Monographs herald him as a one-man art school, a pop visionary, a queer icon, a Samaritan for misfits. Paul Morley, author of The Age of Bowie, claims he was “a human Google through which you can search where pop has bounced and rebounded since the 1960s.”
