David Bowie disguised himself to avoid being recognized on the street

Last Sunday (9), public relations Alan Edwards revealed how David Bowie I did it to go out in public and not be recognized.

According to the website NME, he recounted the tactic in his new memoir, I Was There: Dispatches from a Lifetime in Rock and Roll.

“He [Bowie] He told me that his secret to not being recognized was to wear a cloth cap and have a Greek newspaper under his arm. That way, if anyone ever doubted it was him, they would look closer and think, “Well, he can’t be… he’s obviously Greek.”“, he revealed.

“We would often get on the train, no first class or anything, and you’d be surprised how many people would look twice, then think, ‘It can’t be him, he’s just some guy sitting with us going to Manchester. ‘,” remembered.

“After doing a radio interview, he had nothing better to do, so he decided to provide traffic news. He sat there telling people there were delays on the M25… and to this day I don’t think no one knew he was David Bowie“, he said.

“He was an extraordinary creative genius, but also a pure, disarming and kind gentleman.“, he concluded.
