David Bowie was an English singer, songwriter, and actor.

Bowie was born David Robert Jones in London in 1947. He began his music career in the late 1960s, and released his debut album, David Bowie, in 1967. His early work was influenced by folk and psychedelia, but he soon began to experiment with different genres. In 1972, he released the album The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars, which featured his alter ego Ziggy Stardust, a bisexual alien rock star. The album was a critical and commercial success, and it helped to establish Bowie as a major figure in the music industry.

Bowie continued to release music and tour throughout the 1990s and 2000s. He released his final album, Blackstar, in 2016, shortly before his death from cancer.
