A very happy birthday to the Thin White Duke, Ziggy Stardust
and Aladdin Sane. Yes, the man behind all those guides and more, David
Bowie, who is 65 years old tomorrow.
Over the course of 40-odd
years, no-one has been able to match his ability to flit between the
worlds of music, acting and art. And he's changed his looks more often
than most of us change our dull cotton socks.
So what better way
to celebrate his milestone birthday than a look through some of the most
outrageous, influential or just downright iconic photos of him from our
archives? 1964: A young and fresh-faced David Bowie1965: David Bowie when he was known as Davy Jones outside
