Madame Tussauds releases never-before-seen images of music legend David Bowie
In honour of what would have been his 75th birthday, Madame Tussauds has announced a new figure of music legend David Bowie.
The attraction also released never-before-seen images from the Changes singer’s 1983 sitting with their artists.
Mr Bowie, who was born in Brixton and grew up in Bromley, had his first figure unveiled in 1983 during the height of his Let’s Dance era.
He was heavily involved in the original creation of his likeness, providing hundreds of precise measurements, hair and skin colour references to ensure complete accuracy.
The yet to be unveiled figure will both honour and celebrate his immortal body of work and ongoing legacy, which continues to inspire so many of the musical heroes that can be seen under Madame Tussauds London’s roof today.
Tim Waters, General Manager at Madame Tussauds London said, “David Bowie is one of music’s greats.
On what would have been his 75th birthday the most fitting tribute for Madame Tussauds London to give to our old friend is the creation of a new figure.
His music inspired the masses and, for so many, changed the way they viewed themselves, and we hope remembering him here will ensure that it continues to do so for centuries to come.
“We felt privileged to work with him back in the ’80s and are just as honoured to work with his estate now to continue the legacy of this truly outstanding music career.”
