David Bowie campaign raises £25k for statue

A campaign aiming to raise £100,000 for a David Bowie statue has generated more than £25,000 so far.
A Kickstarter campaign created by music club Friars Aylesbury is hoping to raise the huge sum to put towards a statue of the late musician – who died of liver cancer in January aged 69 – to be placed in the market square in Aylesbury, Buckinghamshire, south east England.
To mark the achievement of raising a quarter of the total, Holy Holy – a supergroup which performs Bowie songs – will play the late legend’s fifth studio album, ‘The Rise And Fall Of Ziggy Stardust And The Spiders From Mars’ in full at Friars Aylesbury on April 3, 2017.
The group features drummer Woody Woodmansey, formerly of Bowie’s backing band The Spiders from Mars, and his long-time producer Tony Visconti, as well as Heaven 17’s Glenn Gregory.
It will be the first time Woody has played the Ziggy album in the town since Bowie’s show there on July 15, 1972.
Friars Aylesbury had a special place in the late music legend’s heart as he performed world debuts of two of his albums, ‘Hunky Dory’ and ‘The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust And The Spiders From Mars’ at the club in 1971/72.
While £25,000 of the £100,000 has been raised, the campaign is aiming to generate the full amount by December 6, 2016.
Bowie will also be honoured with a festival in Aylesbury Market Square on Saturday (12.11.16) which will run from 12-5pm and only play his music.
What’s more, the star’s final years will be explored in a new documentary called ‘David Bowie: The Last Five Years’.
The episode will air in January 2017, one year after his death, and be directed by Francis Whately.
