Editor's note

David Bowie kept changing his style and characters

From "Starman" to "Let's Dance" to "Blackstar," he never stopped reinventing what a pop star could be.

If you want to hear Bowie at his most theatrical, put on "Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars." For something quieter and more haunted, try the title track from "Heroes."

He made transformation into an art form. The Ziggy Stardust character wasn't just a costume, it was a complete world that reshaped how people thought about performance. Songs like "Let's Dance" proved he could dominate the charts while still feeling like an experiment. Even his final album, Blackstar, arrived as a carefully staged farewell that felt entirely new.

His early single "I Dig Everything" showed him searching for a sound. The 1972 hit "Starman" broke him internationally and launched the Ziggy Stardust era. Later, he worked with Brian Eno on the Berlin albums, then surprised everyone with the commercial success of "Let's Dance" in 1983.
