Emerging in 1972 from the mind of David Bowie, Ziggy Stardust wasn’t just a stage persona, he was a fully realized character. Clad in flamboyant costumes with bright orange hair and androgynous features, Ziggy was a rock and roll alien sent to Earth with a message of hope before an impending apocalypse. The concept album, “The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars,” tells Ziggy’s story, from his arrival as a rock savior to his eventual burnout and descent.
Ziggy Stardust was more than just a sci-fi rock opera character. He was a symbol of rebellion, challenging gender norms and societal expectations at a time when such expression was groundbreaking. Bowie’s flamboyant and androgynous performances as Ziggy were electric, pushing the boundaries of rock and roll and inspiring countless musicians and artists.
