YOUR COOL FINGERS
WILL CLOSE MY EYES
David Bowie
famously killed off his
Ziggy Stardust
alter-ego on
July 4, 1973
during a concert at
London's Hammersmith Odeon.
Just before closing with
"Rock 'n' Roll Suicide,"
he addressed
the stunned crowd,
announcing:
"Of all the shows on this tour,
this particular show will
remain with us the longest,
because not only is it
the last show of the tour,
but it’s the last show
that we’ll ever do"
While the audience feared
Bowie was retiring from
music entirely,
he was merely retiring
the Ziggy persona
and dismissing
his backing band,
The Spiders from Mars.
This bold theatrical move
allowed him to shed his
most famous creation
and paved the way for
his continuous reinvention in
the decades that followed
