Music doesn't die, rock and roll never stops

Forever a fashion icon
David Bowie's sensitivity to fashion is innate. His middle school classmates once said that despite wearing a uniform uniform, Bowie's hair was always dyed in various colors. The neutral style became a symbolic element of his early image, and Bowie's seductive singing voice seems to remind us that the Queer culture from underground circles is moving towards the public with the rise of the musician who has just entered the art world. It has to do with Bowie's early years of studying pantomime with Lindsay Kemp, a career that taught him to bring visual beauty to people with transcendent body language — movements that have continued from the popular "Ziggy Stardust" to "Thin White Duke" and even the lead singer of the band Tin Machine, which highlighted the masculine rock style in the late 1980s.
The pinnacle of Bowie's acting career was the creation of the most famous character, Ziggy Stardust, which can also be seen as his other self. "Ziggy" is a rock savior from outer space, and the last time he appeared on stage to perform this image and sing "Rock Suicide", a song that was rushed to the stage by fans to tear up his clothes and pants. It was a typical Bowie narrative, a science fiction theme about a delusional addict.
