David Bowie – Ziggy Stardust And The Spiders From Mars

David Bowie was an English singer-songwriter and actor. He was a leading figure in the music industry and is regarded as one of the most influential musicians of the 20th century. He was acclaimed by critics and musicians, particularly for his innovative work during the 1970s. His career was marked by reinvention and visual presentation, with his music and stagecraft having a significant impact on popular music. During his lifetime, his record sales, estimated at over 100 million records worldwide, made him one of the best-selling music artists of all time. Ziggy Stardust And The Spiders From Mars: The Motion Picture is a live album, released in October 1983 in correspondence with the film of the same name. The music was recorded during the Ziggy Stardust Tour at the Hammersmith Odeon in London on 3 July 1973. The album documents the final show which Bowie performed in his Ziggy Stardust persona. Just before the final track, he announces, “Of all the shows on this tour, this particular show will remain with us the longest, because not only is it the last show of the tour, but it’s the last show that we’ll ever do. Thank you.” Many in the audience believed that Bowie himself was retiring.
