David Bowie’s handwritten lyrics fetched £89,000 after they were sold at Omega Auctions in Uxbridge, west London on 28th November 2023. (Incidentally that is where I grew up). The lyrics sheet contained the late singer’s corrections, drafts and notes when creating his tracks “Rock n Roll Suicide” and “Suffragette City”. Both tracks in the sale featured on Bowie’s 1972 classic album ‘The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars’. That album has always been seen as a full on concept album. I don’t think that it is, how about you?
