On 10th January 2016 David Bowie died from liver cancer, two days after his 69th birthday and the release of Blackstar, his 25th and final studio album. In DG #22 we marked the passing of a multi-era-defining giant of pop culture by mapping Bowie’s life as an artist and icon.

Scroll over the image below to see three infographics from our eight-page tribute, charting his cultural impact, the evolution of his live performances and the great man’s prodigious musical and cinematic output across his incredible 52-year career.
