A unique archive of David Bowie’s life and career is set to open to the public in London, showcasing everything from sparkly “Ziggy Stardust” costumes and handwritten song lyrics to fan letters and notes on an unfinished musical.
Fans and scholars who are interested in the late British rock icon can access approximately 90,000 items in the David Bowie Centre at V&A East Storehouse in east London starting on Saturday.
Bowie, who was hailed as the “chameleon” of rock music for constantly redefining his artistic identity, straddled the realms of fashion, music, drama, and art. He left behind a wealth of artifacts from his five-decade career.
Two days after the release of his last album, “Blackstar,” he passed away from cancer in 2016 at the age of 69.
