Have you met David Bowie?

Jones, Bowie, Stardust, Thin White Duke - all turn 60 on January 8

Iconic rock star David Bowie, responsible for some of the biggest-selling singles and albums of the last four decades, is 60 on 8 January.

Bowie first gained public attention when Space Oddity reached the UK top five in 1969, but it was his re-invention as Ziggy Stardust in 1972, the Starman single, and the ...Spiders From Mars album that brought him his first consolidated period of success.

Throughout the 1970s and 1980s Bowie continued to record, tour, and radically alter his sound and live shows, working with Iggy Pop, John Lennon, Brian Eno, Queen, Mick Jagger, Bing Crosby, Pat Metheny and Phillip Glass.

DAVID BOWIE'S #1 UK ALBUMS Aladdin Sane, 1973 Pin Ups, 1973 Diamond Dogs, 1974 Scary Monsters (and Super Creeps), 1980 Let's Dance, 1983 Tonight, 1984 Black Tie White Noise, 1993

Although still recording and touring up to the present day, Bowie has also earned a credible portfolio as a stage and screen actor in plays and films as diverse as his musical collusions - The Hunger, Labyrinth, and The Last Temptation of Christ.

He recorded a part for children's TV cartoon SpongeBob SquarePants in October 2006.
