With exclusive photographic material, this revised edition of Strange Fascination captures exclusive details about the tours, the making of the albums, the arguments, the split-ups, the music and, most importantly, the man himself. From his self-titled first record, through to the critically-acclaimed Blackstar released just two days before his death, Strange Fascination is the most complete account of David Bowie and his impact on pop culture ever written.
