"Many people know that David Bowie (1947-2016) was an iconic singer, songwriter and actor, whose lyrics, performances and everchanging persona were at the heart of pop culture for over five decades. What, perhaps, they don't know is that he could play 14 different instruments, including the saxophone, koto and viola; that he was the first major artist to release a downloadable single; that he sold over 140 million albums; and that he once shared a Berlin apartment with Iggy Pop. Biographic: Bowie presents an instant impression of his life, work and legacy, with an array of irresistible facts and figures converted into infographics to reveal the artist behind the music."--Back cover.
