David BowieBirth Place: Brixton, London, England, UK Date of Birth: January 8, 1947 |
On January 8, 1947, David Robert Hayward-Jones was born in Brixton, South London, U.K. to parents Hayward Stenton Jones and Margaret Mary Burns. In order to avoid being confused with the Davy Jones of the Monkees, David later took the stage name "David Bowie," after the Alamo hero Jim Bowie and his famous Bowie Knife. Bowie has one brother, Terry Jones (institutionalized), who inspired Bowie’s song "All the Madmen." Teenage David Bowie attended Bromley Technical High School in London, U.K. "I once asked [John] Lennon what he thought of what I do. He said 'It's great, but its just rock and roll with lipstick on.”English rock musician and actor commonly known as the “Chameleon of Pop,” David Bowie is well-known for his 1969 folk rock single “Space Oddity” and his 1972 album The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars, which spawned the hit songs "Suffragette City" and "Starman." The artsy rock star released such albums as Hunky Dory (1971, with hit single "Changes"), Aladdin Sane (1973), Low (1977), Heroes (1977), Let's Dance (1983), 'hours...' (1999), and Reality (2003). As an actor, Bowie appeared in The Man Who Fell To Earth (1976), The Hunger (1983, with Catherine Deneuve and Susan Sarandon), Merry Christmas, Mr. Lawrence (1983), Labyrinth (1986) and Basquiat (1996). He will soon appear in the upcoming films Arthur and the Minimoys (voice) and The Prestige. |
