Has there ever been a more charismatic and intriguing rock star than David Bowie?

In Starman, Paul Trynka has painted the definitive portrait of a great artist. From Bowie’s early years in post-war, bombed-out Brixton to the decadent glamour of Ziggy Stardust to the controversial but vital Berlin period, this essential biography is a celebration of Bowie’s brilliance and a timely reminder of how great music is made – now with an update on the making and release of The Next Day.
