"Ziggy Stardust" was written by David Bowie and released in 1972 as part of the album 'The Rise And Fall Of Ziggy Stardust & The Spiders From Mars'. The song is a description of Bowie's alter ego, a rockstar who is a messenger for extraterrestrial beings. The character was initially inspired by Vince Taylor, a rock and roll singer and frontman for The Playboys, who had nervous breakdown and believed he was crossed between god and an alien.

Amongst other influences Bowie mentioned the Legendary Stardust Cowboy and Kansai Yamamoto Stardust character allowed Bowie to develop antics and mannerisms that he would late declare void upon 'killing' the character. It was the blueprint of Bowie's unique chameleon-like changes, containing seemingly irreconcilable extremes that would eventually synthesize into further new character.
