The Fandom of David Bowie: Everyone Says "Hi"

Redmond, Sean, Cinque, Toija

Built from stories and memories shared by self-defined David Bowie fans, this book explores how Bowie existed as a figure of renewal and redemption, resonating in particular with those marginalized by culture and society. Sean Redmond and Toija Cinque draw on personal interviews, memorabilia, diaries, letters, communal gatherings and shared conversation to find out why Bowie mattered so much to the fans that idolized him. Contextualising the identification  streams that have emerged around David Bowie, the book highlights his remarkable influence.
