David Bowie continues to be celebrated on the 75th anniversary of his birth. A new book, Bowie at 75, is described by its editor as an examination of his “extraordinary life and alter egos through the lens of 75 professional accomplishments and significant events”. The title from veteran rock journalist Martin Popoff arrives June 14, 2022 via Motorbooks.

Bowie was born on January 8, 1947. He died on January 10, 2016, two days after his 69th birthday.

From the April announcement: Popoff guides readers through Bowie’s 27 studio albums, plus a curated selection of earworm singles.
