David Bowie was born as David Robert Jones on January 8, 1947, David Bowie preferred to go by "They Them" pronouns. They died on January 10, 2016, from Liver Cancer. Liver cancer happens when cells become abnormal if the cancer cells spread the liver and other organs can be destroyed by these cells. Unfortunately, David Bowie did not survive this happening to their body. David Bowie had 2 sisters and 1 brother. They had remarried once and had 1 grandchild. They had 2 children, a boy, and a girl. David's Mother died in 2001, but their Father is still alive. Three of their Mother's sister's along with their half-brother reportedly became psychotic.

David Bowie has been a hero to many for years. When people are feeling bad it is nice to listen to their music. Some of their most famous songs include "Space Oddity, Life On Mars, Heroes, and Let's Dance" these songs are very well written. If David Bowie was never born a lot of people wouldn't have let their true selves shine. David Bowie's alter ego, Ziggy Stardust, is very strange and literally out of this world. Ziggy Stardust changed rock history. David Bowie even said, "I mean, my plastic rock & roller was much more plastic than anybody's. And that was what was needed at the time.

I chose to write about David Bowie/Ziggy Stardust because I find them just so amazing and a wonderful role model. David Bowie broke the status quo with Ziggy Stardust. Ziggy created an image of you can do anything. If I were to describe them in three words it would be "God of Rock" because they are just so amazing. I was mostly drawn to David Bowie because of their amazing style and personality. If you have ever seen a video of one of their performances you will get the idea of why I am drawn to them. I have also grown up listening to David Bowie, mostly from my sister. That is why I chose David Bowie/Ziggy Stardust as my hero.
