“Of all the shows on the tour, this one will stay with us the longest because not only is this the last show of the tour, but it is the last show we will ever do.” – David Bowie, unexpectedly retiring his Ziggy Stardust character, June 3, 1973

English rock band Bauhaus covered David Bowie’s “Ziggy Stardust” in 1983 .

David Bowie wrote Mott The Hoople’s big hit song “All The Young Dudes” in about an hour, after the band rejected the first song he’d written them — “Suffragette City”, which Bowie made into a hit on his next album, Ziggy Stardust.

In 2004, David Bowie barely left the stage after performing the Hurricane Festival in Scheeßel, Germany before collapsing from a heart attack requiring emergency surgery. He never toured again, performing live only three more times. It also marked the last time Bowie would perform “Ziggy Stardust” live.
