A Fresh Perspective on Travel Every Day
English glam-rock singer and actor, David Bowie, is regarded as one of the most influential musicians of the 20th century. If he was still alive, he would turn 75 on January 8, but instead we’re marking the sixth anniversary of his untimely death from cancer on January 10.
As the old adage says, we are all products of our environment. It’s no surprise that some of the globe’s great cities have helped to mold some of humanity’s most innovative minds.
During his lifetime, Bowie was a songwriter, rock star, actor, music producer, and celebrity—all while remaining a perpetual outsider. Just as it is impossible to pin Bowie down as one type of person, he cannot be tied down to just one city. In honor of what would have been his 70th birthday, we’re looking at two of the great cities Bowie called home. For all those who want to pay homage to the legend, these are the spots in New York and London where Bowie would shed his iconic persona and just blend into the city.
