Paris has honoured music legend David Bowie by naming a street after him on what would have been his 77th birthday. <\/p>\n

The Rue David Bowie – first announced in 2020 by the mayor of the city’s 13 arrondissement – was unveiled and features his year of birth (1947) and death.<\/p>\n

Bowie died<\/strong> after a long battle with cancer in 2016, days after his 69th birthday when he released his 25th album, called Blackstar.<\/p>\n

The tribute celebrates Bowie’s first Paris performance in 1965 – his first outside the United Kingdom – and his lasting impact on music, fashion choices, theatrical aura, and popular culture.<\/p>\n

Bowie’s influence on music, with hits like Space Oddity and Let’s Dance, and on fashion, are now permanently recognised in the Paris city landscape.<\/p>\n

His album Pin Ups was recorded near the French capital in 1973 at Chateau d’Herouville after completing the Ziggy Stardust Tour.<\/p>\n

The new street is situated between two modern office buildings, including the headquarters of news publications Le Monde and L’Obs.<\/p>\n

It opens onto Avenue Pierre-Mendes-France and will connect to the future bridge linking the avenue to Boulevard de l’Hopital, near Austerlitz train station and Pitie-Salpetriere Hospital.<\/p>\n

Fanclub Bowie France, which has 9,500 followers said the naming was “well deserved” for a “unique, timeless artist”.<\/p>\n

Brixton, his birthplace, does not have a street named after him but celebrates his legacy with an iconic mural.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n[ad_2]\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
