David Bowie

In January 2002, when David Bowie performed "Ziggy Stardust" live in Paris, he was well into a prolific phase of his career, having experienced various artistic reinventions throughout the decades. Notably, Bowie's previous studio album, "Heathen," was released in 2002, marking a return to form for the artist after the 1999 album "Hours." This live performance of "Ziggy Stardust," a song central to his early 1970s persona as Ziggy Stardust, highlights how Bowie sustained the legacy of his alter egos even years after their initial impact. Interestingly, Bowie's ability to blend old hits with newer material showcased his versatility and enduring relevance in the rock scene. This performance reflects both his nostalgia for his groundbreaking past and his commitment to evolving as an artist, further affirming his iconic status in music history.
