 Key People involved in Ziggy Stardust

Angie, Zowie & David (early 1974 at The Amsell Hotel - Amsterdam)

Zowie Bowie

Aka Duncan/Joey Zowie Heywood Jones. David and Angela Bowie's only son born 30 May 1971. Some sources mistakenly report his birthday as being the 28th May 1971. The name Zowie is a male derivative of Zoe, the Greek word for "life."

Bowie wrote the song "Kooks" on HUNKY DORY (1971) in honour of his birth. Zowie was just one year old when THE RISE AND FALL OF ZIGGY STARDUST AND THE SPIDERS FROM MARS (1972) was released.

Where is he now?
