"Ziggy Stardust" is a song written by David Bowie for his 1972 concept album "The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars". Bowie co-produced the song with Ken Scott and recorded it at Trident Studios in London with his backing band, The Spiders from Mars. The song is about Ziggy Stardust, a bisexual alien rock star who acts as a messenger for extraterrestrial beings. The character was influenced by English singer Vince Taylor, as well as the legendary Stardust Cowboy and Kansai Yamamoto. Although Ziggy is featured earlier in the album, this song is the centerpiece, presenting the rise and fall of the star in a very human way. Musically, it's a glam rock song, much like his parent album, built around a guitar riff by Mick Ronson. "Ziggy Stardust" is a seminal work in Bowie's catalog and the glam rock genre.
