In the mid-to-late 1970s, after helping to shape the sound of glam rock, Bowie lived in Berlin, creating three monumental albums – Low, Heroes and Lodger.
In the summer of 1985, he returned to London for Live Aid at Wembley, where he performed the song Heroes, shortly after he had teamed up with Mick Jagger for Dancing in the Street, which was filmed in London’s Docklands.
“Bowie was the outsider,” says Adam. “He was rebellious, singular and inspirational. He did his own thing—and that drew people in.”
During his lifetime, Bowie sold more than 140 million albums, released 111 singles and produced 51 music videos.
His final album, Blackstar, was released just two days before his death at 69. It marked the end of an era, but Bowie’s influence remains woven into the fabric of music worldwide.
