David Bowie Changeling: 4. Becoming Ziggy

David Bowie was captivated by Tony Zanetta—known as ‘Z’—who played Andy Warhol in Pork, and asked him to arrange a meeting with Warhol in New York. During that trip, Bowie also met Lou Reed and Iggy Pop, both of whom would profoundly influence his music.

Kate Moss explores Bowie’s journey back in the UK where he was creatively recharged. Inspired by the artists and sounds he encountered, he began writing new material and shared his vision for a new persona: Ziggy Stardust.

His next album, Hunky Dory, showcased Bowie’s immense potential. Released on December 17, 1971, it featured tracks like Changes and Life on Mars, which marked a turning point in his career.

With contributions from Iggy Pop, George Underwood, Tony Zanetta, Woody Woodmansey, Anya Wilson and Leee Black Childers.
