The bronze sculpture, called Earthly Messenger, now takes pride of place in Aylesbury's Market Square. The rock star made his debut as Ziggy Stardust at Friars music club in the Buckinghamshire town. The life-size statue features a likeness to Bowie in 2002 alongside his alter egos, with Ziggy at the front. Money was raised for the project through grants and a £100,000 crowdfunding campaign by music promoter David Stopps. Earlier this month Mr Stopps launched a petition to rename Aylesbury 'Aylesbowie' to honour the singer's 'strong connection' to the town.
