A moving, unique and distinctly researched exploration of pop icon David Bowie by professor and die-hard fan Will Brooker.

When David Bowie died on 10th January 2016, it seemed the whole world stopped. To many of us, Bowie was so much more than a pop idol. But why? In Why Bowie Matters Will Brooker answers this question persuasively, as both a fan and an academic. A Bowie obsessive since childhood, he hit the headlines in 2015 by immersing himself in a fascinating project – to be exactly like Bowie for a year. Following his footsteps from London to Berlin and New York, only listening to music and reading books he loved, and even adopting his fashion.

In this original and illuminating book, Professor Brooker approaches Bowie from various angles, retracing his childhood, exploring his inspirations from music and film, to people and places – and ultimately piecing together just how David Jones became David Bowie, and what we can learn from his incredible journey.

 ‘An intelligent and nuanced look at an artist whose total achievement is only now beginning to be discovered.’ Chris O’Leary, author of Rebel Rebel.
