nHe starts the decade a teenage pop idol. But the one-hit wonder who sang Space Oddity is still very far from becoming the star who will one day define the 1970s. Not when he still has a band to find, a manager to sack, a mentally ill brother to save, a wife to marry and a rival called Marc Bolan to beat. Not when David Bowie still has no idea who or what David Bowie is. Starting at the beginning of Bowies incredible ten-year odyssey changing the course of pop music, Simon Goddards bold and expressionistic biography weaves time, space, rocknroll and social history to relive Bowies 1970 - moment by vivid moment.
