A poignant memoir by the last surviving member of David Bowie's The Spiders from Mars, drummer Woody Woodmansey. \u003cp\u003eFor many fans, Bowie's Ziggy Stardust era remains the most extraordinarily creative period in his career. As a member of Bowie's legendary band at the time - The Spiders From Mars - Woody played drums on four seminal albums: \u003ci\u003eThe Man Who Sold The World\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eHunky Dory\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Rise And Fall Of Ziggy Stardust And The Spiders From Mars\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eAladdin Sane\u003c\/i\u003e. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWoody's memoir, which he started work on in 2014, focuses on this key period and brings it to glorious life. With the confidence of youth, Woody always thought he'd be in a famous band but the nineteen-year-old rocker from Hull never expected to be thrust into London's burgeoning glam rock scene, and also into a bottle-green velvet suit and girl's shoes. Playing with Bowie took him on an eye-opening and transformative journey. In \u003ci\u003eSpider From Mars\u003c\/i\u003e he writes candidly about the characters who surrounded Bowie, recalling the album sessions as well as behind-the-scenes moments with one of the world's most iconic singers. The result is an insightful, funny, poignant memoir that lovingly evokes a seminal moment in music history and pays tribute to one of the most outstanding and innovative talents of our time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rarewaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41696380780641,"sku":"9780283072734","price":16.82,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/7504\/8033\/files\/stand_24522786.jpg?v=1718039552","url":"https:\/\/www.rarewaves.com\/products\/9780283072734-spider-from-mars-my-life-with-bowie","provider":"Rarewaves.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
