He came from Outer Space. . .
It was the greatest invention in the history of pop music - the rock god who came from the stars - which struck a young David Bowie like a lightning bolt from the heavens.
When Ziggy the glam alien messiah fell to Earth,he transformed Bowie from a prodigy to a superstar who changed the face of music forever. But who was Ziggy Stardust? And where did he really come from?
In a work of supreme pop archaeology,Simon Goddard unearths every influence that brought Ziggy to life - from HG Wells to Holst,Kabuki to Kubrick,and Elvis to Iggy. Ziggyology documents the epic drama of the Starman's short but eventful time on Planet Earth. . . and why Bowie eventually had to kill him.
