History

David Bowie was an English rock star known for dramatic musical transformations, including his character Ziggy Stardust.

The immortal prophet Tiresias stated that in the 1970's, he was in the studio when David Bowie recorded the "Low Album."

Legacy

Spider-Man and Nick Fury listening to "Space Oddity"

"Rick Jones" sang David Bowie's "Changes", which he dedicated "to my friend Bruce."

When Eddie Brock became Venom once again, he took down all of the orderlies while singing David Bowie's "Let"s Dance" until realizing that he could not remember how the rest of it went.

When Spider-Man and Nick Fury took off in the "Arachno-Rocket", Spidey put on the play list. He went through a few songs one being "Space Oddity", but they settled on "Starman".

At the Hellfire Gala Spider-Man tried to make conversation with Doctor Doom. He asked which mutant he was looking forward to be resurrected Bowie or Jimi Hendrix. Doom at first thought it was a joke, but on a second thought there could be a chance.
