It’s an established fact that David Bowie’s had an accomplished music, stage, and movie career. In fact, when he turns 69 this Friday, January 8, he’ll celebrate it by releasing a new album, ★ (a.k.a. Blackstar), which is already receiving rave reviews. Slacking off is not (and has never been) in Bowie’s vocabulary, something hammered home by the website supbowie.com, a searchable, year-by-year chronicle of the Thin White Duke’s life milestones. At age 3, “he had a cameo appearance in a home video”; by age 15, “he formed his first band, the Kon-Rads”; at 23, he “released the legendary album The Man Who Sold The World”; and at 62, “he got a newly discovered spider species in Malaysia named after him, Heteropoda Davidbowie.”
