The Spiders From Mars

From Wikipedia, a free encyclopedia written in simple English for easy reading.

The Spiders From Mars was a Rock band from 1970 to 1973. It was a project from David Bowie.

Bowie himself was the lead-singer. He created a secondary personality (alter ego) for this purpose: Ziggy Stardust.

Ziggy Stardust and The Spiders From Mars recorded a couple of albums:

  • The Rise And Fall Of Ziggy Stardust And The Spiders From Mars (1972)
  • Aladdin Sane (1973)

Ziggy's 'life' came to an end in a live concert at Hammersmith Odeon, on July 3, 1973. This show was in 1983 released in a movie: Ziggy Stardust - The Motion Picture. A re-release of this movie was in 2003: 30th Anniversary Edition.
