Bowie is hit in the eye by a lollipop while on stage in Oslo, Norway in 2004.
Someone once threw a lollipop at Bowie while he was on stage. The stem got stuck in his eye, causing the candy to grotesquely dangle, but Bowie kept playing.

#David Bowie, the traveller
```
- center: [51.4657548,-20]
- zoom: 3
```

During his whole life, Bowie sung, acted, painted, fell in love all around the world. And everywhere he has been he left his mark in a big way, as illustrated by the countless tributes made at every corner of the world at his death.

Let's have a tour of some of these places, discovering some less known aspects of the life of the artist.

*Data source: Wikipedia*


#January 8th, 1947: the Brixton house
```
- center: [51.4657548,-0.1208827]

```
*40 Stansfield Road, Brixton, UK*

Bowie was born the same day as Elvis Presley, in a house near the border of the south London areas of Brixton and Stockwell.
In 2013, the owner of the house stated he "wasn't impressed". "It’s not the same as having a big star like Amy Winehouse or the Sex Pistols’ homes. They’re much more sensational."

Bowie attended Stockwell Infants School until he was six years old, acquiring a reputation as a gifted and single-minded child—and a defiant brawler.


#1964 : Long hair

#1973 : In an old castle
```
- center: [49.1047347,2.1107969]
- zoom: 10
```
*Château d'Hérouville, Hérouville, France*

During David Bowie's time spent at the château whilst recording Low with Tony Visconti and Brian Eno the three claimed to have felt super-natural, or 'haunting' experiences. Visconti stated:

*There was certainly some strange energy in that Château. On the first day David took one look at the master bedroom and said, 'I’m not sleeping in there!' He took the room next door. The master bedroom had a very dark corner, right next to the window, ironically, that seem to just suck light into it. It was colder in that corner too.*

#1973: Brel
```
- center: [48.8589507,2.2775172]

```
*Paris, France*

As a Jacques Brel admirer, Bowie did many covers of the Jacques Brel, one of the most well known probably being [Amsterdam](https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=4&v=c40VXrQxQlQ), a powerful melancholic crescendo with a rich poetic account of the exploits of sailors on shore leave in Amsterdam.

Sadly Brel didn't reciprocate, refusing to meet Bowie, who nevertheless admired him.


#1974 : Moving to the US
```
- center: [34.0207504,-118.6919208]
- zoom: 9
```
*Los Angeles, CA, United States*

In 1974, Bowie abandons his alter ego Ziggy Stardust and moves to the US in 1974, initially staying in New York City before settling in Los Angeles. Diamond Dogs (1974), parts of which found him heading towards soul and funk, was the product of two distinct ideas: a musical based on a wild future in a post-apocalyptic city, and setting George Orwell's 1984 to music.

#1975 : *Young Americans*
```
- center: [40.0026767,-75.2581172]

```
*Philadelphia, PA, United States*

The fruit of the Philadelphia recording sessions was [Young Americans](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ydLcs4VrjZQ) (1975). Biographer Christopher Sandford writes, "Over the years, most British rockers had tried, one way or another, to become black-by-extension. Few had succeeded as Bowie did now." The album's sound, which the singer identified as "plastic soul", constituted a radical shift in style that initially alienated many of his UK devotees.

#1975 : *Peter and the Wolf* Philadelphia, PA, United States
```
- center: [40.0026767,-75.2581172]

```
*Philadelphia, PA, United States*

Bowie records a version of Prokofiev's *Peter and the Wolf* with the Philadelphia Orchestra. Bowie later said that it was a Christmas present for his son, Duncan Jones, then at 7 years old.

*Bloney, Switzerland*

Bowie moved to Switzerland in 1976, purchasing a chalet in the hills to the north of Lake Geneva. In the new environment, his cocaine use decreased and he found time for other pursuits outside his musical career. He devoted more time to his painting, and produced a number of post-modernist pieces.

Bowie became, in the words of biographer Christopher Sandford, "a prolific producer and collector of contemporary art".

Bowie stated : "In Switzerland people leave me alone"

*Hauptstraße 155, Schöneberg, Berlin, Germany*

Before the end of 1976, Bowie's interest in the burgeoning German music scene, as well as health issues, prompted him to move to West Berlin to clean up and revitalise his career. There he was often seen riding a bicycle between his apartment on Hauptstraße in Schöneberg and Hansa Tonstudio, the recording studio he used, located on Köthener Straße in Kreuzberg, near the Berlin Wall.

*[Crystal Japan](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xm2ciX0_UP8)* is an instrumental piece written by David Bowie and released as a single in Japan in 1980. It was recorded in 1979 and used in a Japanese commercial for the sake Crystal Jun Rock, which also featured an appearance by Bowie, although he said at the time that the track was not specifically written for this purpose.

*Berlin, Germany*

Bowie returns in Berlin where he lived three years, and plays his hit *Heroes* in front of the Reichstag. Bowie tells the crowd, in German: "We send our wishes to all our friends who are on the other side of the wall.".

This concert is considered to some to have help change history. German Foreign Office stated, the day of his death: "Good-bye, David Bowie. You are now among #Heroes. Thank you for helping to bring down the #wall."

*I, I can remember (I remember)*

*Standing, by the wall (by the wall)*

*And the guns, shot above our heads (over our heads)*

*And we kissed, as though nothing could fall (nothing could fall)*

*And the shame, was on the other side*

*Oh we can beat them, forever and ever*

*Then we could be heroes, just for one day*

#David Bowie, the traveller
- center: [51.4657548,-20]
- zoom: 3

During his whole life, Bowie sung, acted, painted, fell in love all around the world. And everywhere he has been he left his mark in a big way, as illustrated by the countless tributes made at every corner of the world at his death.
Let's have a tour of some of these places, discovering some less known aspects of the life of the artist.

#January 8th, 1947: the Brixton house
- center: [51.4657548,-0.1208827]
- zoom: 12

40 Stansfield Road, Brixton, UK
Bowie was born the same day as Elvis Presley, in a house near the border of the south London areas of Brixton and Stockwell.
In 2013, the owner of the house stated he "wasn't impressed". "It’s not the same as having a big star like Amy Winehouse or the Sex Pistols’ homes. They’re much more sensational."

#1951 : Stockwell Infants School
- center: [51.4666653,-0.1202262]

Bowie attended Stockwell Infants School until he was six years old, acquiring a reputation as a gifted and single-minded child—and a defiant brawler.
#1964 : Long hair

David Bowie helped organise and plays at the Beckenham Free Festival in the Croydon Road Recreation Ground, where the United Kingdom’s first manned airmail flight left from here in 1902.

#1971 : Ziggy Stardust
- center: [51.4725746,-0.01252]

New York, USA
In one single week Bowie meets Iggy Pop, Andy Warhol, and Lou Reed. In the summer of 1972 he will produce the first album for Lou Reed (Transformer), and then "Raw Power" by Iggy and The Stooges.

#1973 : In an old castle
- center: [49.1047347,2.1107969]
- zoom: 10

Château d'Hérouville, Hérouville, France
During David Bowie's time spent at the château whilst recording Low with Tony Visconti and Brian Eno the three claimed to have felt super-natural, or 'haunting' experiences. Visconti stated:
There was certainly some strange energy in that Château. On the first day David took one look at the master bedroom and said, 'I’m not sleeping in there!' He took the room next door. The master bedroom had a very dark corner, right next to the window, ironically, that seem to just suck light into it. It was colder in that corner too.

#1973: Brel
- center: [48.8589507,2.2775172]
- zoom: 11

Paris, France
As a Jacques Brel admirer, Bowie did many covers of the Jacques Brel, one of the most well known probably being Amsterdam, a powerful melancholic crescendo with a rich poetic account of the exploits of sailors on shore leave in Amsterdam.
Sadly Brel didn't reciprocate, refusing to meet Bowie, who nevertheless admired him.
#1974 : Moving to the US
- center: [34.0207504,-118.6919208]

Los Angeles, CA, United States
In 1974, Bowie abandons his alter ego Ziggy Stardust and moves to the US in 1974, initially staying in New York City before settling in Los Angeles. Diamond Dogs (1974), parts of which found him heading towards soul and funk, was the product of two distinct ideas: a musical based on a wild future in a post-apocalyptic city, and setting George Orwell's 1984 to music.

#1975 : Young Americans
- center: [40.0026767,-75.2581172]
- zoom: 9

Philadelphia, PA, United States
The fruit of the Philadelphia recording sessions was Young Americans (1975). Biographer Christopher Sandford writes, "Over the years, most British rockers had tried, one way or another, to become black-by-extension. Few had succeeded as Bowie did now." The album's sound, which the singer identified as "plastic soul", constituted a radical shift in style that initially alienated many of his UK devotees.
#1975 : Peter and the Wolf Philadelphia, PA, United States
- center: [40.0026767,-75.2581172]
- zoom: 9

Philadelphia, PA, United States
Bowie records a version of Prokofiev's Peter and the Wolf with the Philadelphia Orchestra. Bowie later said that it was a Christmas present for his son, Duncan Jones, then at 7 years old.

#1976 : Bowie the painter
- center: [46.4757188,6.8903806]
- zoom: 8

Bloney, Switzerland
Bowie moved to Switzerland in 1976, purchasing a chalet in the hills to the north of Lake Geneva. In the new environment, his cocaine use decreased and he found time for other pursuits outside his musical career. He devoted more time to his painting, and produced a number of post-modernist pieces.
Bowie became, in the words of biographer Christopher Sandford, "a prolific producer and collector of contemporary art".
Bowie stated : "In Switzerland people leave me alone"

#1976 : Moving to Berlin
- center: [52.4798495,13.3213383]

Hauptstraße 155, Schöneberg, Berlin, Germany
Before the end of 1976, Bowie's interest in the burgeoning German music scene, as well as health issues, prompted him to move to West Berlin to clean up and revitalise his career. There he was often seen riding a bicycle between his apartment on Hauptstraße in Schöneberg and Hansa Tonstudio, the recording studio he used, located on Köthener Straße in Kreuzberg, near the Berlin Wall.

#1980 : Crystal Japan
- center: [35.496,138.460]

Crystal Japan is an instrumental piece written by David Bowie and released as a single in Japan in 1980. It was recorded in 1979 and used in a Japanese commercial for the sake Crystal Jun Rock, which also featured an appearance by Bowie, although he said at the time that the track was not specifically written for this purpose.

#1983 : China Girl

Tumble and Twirl recounts Iggy Pop and Bowie's exploits while vacationing in Bali and Java after Bowie's previous tour had ended.
I've seen the city and I took the next flight for Borneo
They say it's pretty, I like the t-shirts in Borneo
Some wear Bob Marley others in Playbos or Duvalier
Make the last plane come, let me rise through the cloudy above
With a book on Borneo
Tumble and Twirl lyrics
#June 1987 : Concert at the Berlin Wall
- center: [52.507629,13.1449577]

Berlin, Germany
Bowie returns in Berlin where he lived three years, and plays his hit Heroes in front of the Reichstag. Bowie tells the crowd, in German: "We send our wishes to all our friends who are on the other side of the wall.".
This concert is considered to some to have help change history. German Foreign Office stated, the day of his death: "Good-bye, David Bowie. You are now among #Heroes. Thank you for helping to bring down the #wall."
I, I can remember (I remember)
Standing, by the wall (by the wall)
And the guns, shot above our heads (over our heads)
And we kissed, as though nothing could fall (nothing could fall)
And the shame, was on the other side
Oh we can beat them, forever and ever
Then we could be heroes, just for one day

	There was certainly some strange energy in that Château. On the first day David took one look at the master bedroom and said, 'I’m not sleeping in there!' He took the room next door. The master bedroom had a very dark corner, right next to the window, ironically, that seem to just suck light into it. It was colder in that corner too.

	Paris, France

	As a Jacques Brel admirer, Bowie did many covers of the Jacques Brel, one of the most well known probably being [Amsterdam](https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=4&v=c40VXrQxQlQ), a powerful melancholic crescendo with a rich poetic account of the exploits of sailors on shore leave in Amsterdam.

	Sadly Brel didn't reciprocate, refusing to meet Bowie, who nevertheless admired him.

	In 1974, Bowie abandons his alter ego Ziggy Stardust and moves to the US in 1974, initially staying in New York City before settling in Los Angeles. Diamond Dogs (1974), parts of which found him heading towards soul and funk, was the product of two distinct ideas: a musical based on a wild future in a post-apocalyptic city, and setting George Orwell's 1984 to music.

	The fruit of the Philadelphia recording sessions was [Young Americans](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ydLcs4VrjZQ) (1975). Biographer Christopher Sandford writes, "Over the years, most British rockers had tried, one way or another, to become black-by-extension. Few had succeeded as Bowie did now." The album's sound, which the singer identified as "plastic soul", constituted a radical shift in style that initially alienated many of his UK devotees.

	Bloney, Switzerland

	Bowie moved to Switzerland in 1976, purchasing a chalet in the hills to the north of Lake Geneva. In the new environment, his cocaine use decreased and he found time for other pursuits outside his musical career. He devoted more time to his painting, and produced a number of post-modernist pieces.

	Bowie became, in the words of biographer Christopher Sandford, "a prolific producer and collector of contemporary art".

	Bowie stated : "In Switzerland people leave me alone"

	Before the end of 1976, Bowie's interest in the burgeoning German music scene, as well as health issues, prompted him to move to West Berlin to clean up and revitalise his career. There he was often seen riding a bicycle between his apartment on Hauptstraße in Schöneberg and Hansa Tonstudio, the recording studio he used, located on Köthener Straße in Kreuzberg, near the Berlin Wall.

	I've seen the city and I took the next flight for Borneo

	They say it's pretty, I like the t-shirts in Borneo

	Some wear Bob Marley others in Playbos or Duvalier

	Make the last plane come, let me rise through the cloudy above

	With a book on Borneo

	Bowie returns in Berlin where he lived three years, and plays his hit Heroes in front of the Reichstag. Bowie tells the crowd, in German: "We send our wishes to all our friends who are on the other side of the wall.".

	This concert is considered to some to have help change history. German Foreign Office stated, the day of his death: "Good-bye, David Bowie. You are now among #Heroes. Thank you for helping to bring down the #wall."

	I, I can remember (I remember)

	Standing, by the wall (by the wall)

	And the guns, shot above our heads (over our heads)

	And we kissed, as though nothing could fall (nothing could fall)

	And the shame, was on the other side

	Oh we can beat them, forever and ever

	Then we could be heroes, just for one day
