New David Bowie Statue Vandalised In UK

The new David Bowie statue in Aylesbury, UK, has been vandalised just two days after it was unveiled.

The words “feed the homeless” and “RIP DB” were fronted around and in front of the statue within 48 hours of its dedication.

The David Bowie statue sits in Aylesbury Market Square which is immortalised in the opening lyrics to Bowie’s ‘Five Years’. The song is from Bowie’s classic ‘Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders From Mars’. Bowie first performed the Ziggy persona in Aylesbury at Friars in July 1972.

Marillion singer Steve Hogarth unveiled the David Bowie statue on 25 March.

The statue was funded through grants and a £100,000 crowd funding campaign.

I could go to a James Taylor show just for the stories. The man is a part of music history and is still around to tell the tales of how it all began. Like, for instance, being the first artist signed to Apple Records. James “auditioned” for Apple with his song ‘Something In The Way She Moves’. "Paul went away and started the label and George went away and wrote the song”, he said.
