David Bowie, 1966
David Bowie unquestionably stands among the greatest musicians to have ever graced the world, and we’re fortunate to have experienced his brilliance during his lifetime. However, this snapshot of young Bowie offers a perspective that many may not have encountered. Taken in the late ’60s, this image provides a rare glimpse into the life of a talented musician before he reached the pinnacle of his fame.
This youthful portrayal of the star, captured in this photograph, predates by three years the transformation of his appearance into the otherworldly spectacle he presented in Space Oddity.
