READ MORE: David Bowie’s earliest years – as told by the people who knew him best In 2019, footage of Bowie’s first TV appearance as Ziggy Stardust was unearthed after it was presumed lost for 47 years .
The clip saw the late singer make his debut as his new and most legendary incarnation on ITV’s Lift Off with Ayshea – a month before his now iconic Top Of The Pops appearance. It was feared that the footage would never be seen again, as it was not stored by the station. However, the performance was recorded by one viewer and was found on an old computer tape five years ago, before later being included in the BBC documentary David Bowie: The First Five Years – Finding Fame .
Now, further footage has been uncovered from that era for fans to see for the first time. The newly-shared video comes from the ‘Ziggy Stardust’ UK tour that took place between 1972 and 1973 and was filmed by late Bowie collaborator and photographer Mick Rock. Parlophone Records released the new compilation of tour clips in celebration of the first-ever Dolby Atmos spatial audio version of Bowie’s seminal 1972 album ‘The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars’.
The new mix of the album will be available on Blu-Ray Audio on September.
