‘An unearthed trove of Bowie treasure’ – David Mitchell<\/p>\n
David Bowie’s story has never been told quite like this.<\/p>\n
Tracing the star’s encounters with fellow icons throughout his life, We Could Be<\/i> offers a new history of Bowie, collecting 300 short stories<\/b> that together paint a portrait of humour, humility, compassion, tragedy and more besides.<\/p>\n
He teaches Michael Jackson the moonwalk. He embarrasses himself in front of Lennon and Warhol. He saves the life of Nina Simone. He also taught John McEnroe to play ‘Rebel Rebel’; had run-ins with Lou Reed, Axel Rose and Liam Gallagher, and had his feet measured by Freddie Mercury at their first meeting. Individually astonishing, together these stories – including details never before revealed <\/b>– build a new picture of Bowie, one which shows his vulnerability, his sense of humour, his inner diva.<\/p>\n
Exhaustively researched from thousands of sources<\/b> by BBC reporter and Bowie obsessive Tom Hagler – with the guidance and memories of Bowie’s long-time producer Tony Visconti – We Could Be<\/i> is fascinating, comic, compelling, and a history of Bowie unlike any that has come before.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
