Upcoming photographic exhibition DAVID BOWIE 'UNSEEN' by TONY McGEE is showing next month at IMITATE MODERN in London.

Imitate Modern is proud to present a solo exhibition of British photographer Tony McGee, featuring a selection of photographs of David Bowie, some of which have never been seen or exhibited before.

Tony McGee: David Bowie is an icon, probably the most inventive musician during the last 80 years. To have worked with him on such a personal level was an enormous honour. This collection of images is 'Unseen' and it shows David in his private 'off camera' moments.

McGee first met Bowie at a private cocktail party hosted by theatrical impresario and producer Michael White, where the photographer was introduced to Bowie by Jerry Hall and Coco Schwab. The two immediately bonded, building the beginning of a friendship that would span for more than 30 years. A few days after their first meeting Tony was contacted by David's record company and the first of their many photographic shoots together was arranged. Their first collaboration was to shoot all of the publicity for the 'Serious Moonlight' Tour, 1983, and their photographic relationship continued well into the 90s. One of the portraits of David Bowie by Tony McGee is in the permanent collection of National Portrait Gallery. McGee photographed one of David's most famous covers for Face Magazine, which was regarded by GQ as one of the most the influential magazine covers of the 1980s.

Bowie was photographed by McGee on a number of occasions, and Tony would personally take the contact sheets from the photoshoots to Bowie who would the sign off on the images and put gold stars on the images of his choice. A number of the original contact sheets will be on display at Imitate Modern, in addition to a retrospective of portraits of David Bowie, many of which show a personal side of the musician, in contrast to the many characters that he impersonated throughout his career.

'David Bowie Unseen' runs from 18th May through 27th May.

Venue: Imitate Modern Gallery, 19 Shepherd Market, Mayfair, London W1J 7PJ.

The Aylesbury DAVID BOWIE statue 'Earthly Messenger' has been delayed due to temporary scaffolding at the site.

The statue currently being created by sculptor Andrew Sinclair, is to be located under the arches in the Market Square area of Aylesbury, Buckinghamshire, in September.

Campaigner David Stopps said it was "frustrating" but he is hopeful the statue would be in place by March 2018.

Although he said there was a possibility it may be erected in a 'temporary location' between September and March.

On this day, 43 years ago, DAVID BOWIE arrived in New York at Pier 84 travelling onboard the SS France from Cannes, with one stop at Funchal, Madeira.

The SS France was on the final leg of 'The Ultimate Odyssey' world cruise - a 92-day trip that began on 9th January and ended on 11th April.

During the crossing, ship receptionist Bruno Rabreau recalls that David gave an impromptu performance for the crew in the canteen, some of who took instruments and joined in. With an acoustic guitar he performed more than 10 songs.

A handful of fans, one of which was the only person with a camera to capture the moment, were there to greet him and get autographs.

Also travelling with him was Angie Bowie, Geoff MacCormack, Corinne Schwab and Freddie Burretti.

Trivia: The crossing took 6 days instead of the normal 5 because the ship actually went slower across the Atlantic to save on fuel because of the high price of oil at the time.

New book scheduled for publication in November is WHEN ZIGGY PLAYED THE MARQUEE: David Bowie's Last Performance as Ziggy Stardust by TERRY O'NEILL.

When Ziggy played The Marquee Club in Soho, London, in October 1973, most of those invited to the small venue did not realise that this would be the last performance David Bowie would ever give as Ziggy Stardust. Terry O'Neill, celebrated photographer, was given unprecedented access to document the event. O'Neill captured Bowie and his crew backstage as they went through costume changes, and Bowie transformed into the character he'd soon put to rest. On stage, dodging television cameras and lights, O'Neill snapped the incredible stage presence for which Bowie and his crew had become renowned. O'Neill remembers of Bowie: "He became a character on stage. As much as a person takes a role in a play for the West End or on Broadway, learning the lines, putting on the costumes - this was, I think, the way Bowie treated his stage. This night at the Marquee, I witnessed a modern-day Hamlet - and it was Ziggy Stardust". Foreword by Gary Kemp.

       - Hardcover.
       - 208 pages.
       - Publisher: ACC Art Books.
       - Date: 15th November.
       - Foreword: Gary Kemp.

About the Author: Terry O'Neill has had a star-studded career. He has been in the business of capturing the most iconic, candid, and unguarded moments of the famous and infamous for six decades. His reportage photography chronicled the evolution of fashion in the postwar era, and later the emergence of bands such as The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, and The Animals, and icons like David Bowie and Elton John. He has been photographer-of-choice for a multitude of celebrities, from Frank Sinatra and Audrey Hepburn to Raquel Welch and Paul Newman, and remains the only photographer to have captured shots not only of every James Bond to date, but also more than 25 Bond girls and a staggering 150 Oscar-nominated actors and actresses. O'Neill was awarded with the Royal Society of Arts' highest honour, the Centenary Medal, in 2012.

Currently in the pipeline is BOWIE: THE ILLUSTRATED STORY by former editor of MOJO magazine PAT GILBERT.

David Bowie released an incredible 27 studio albums, beginning with his eponymous 1967 debut and ending with Blackstar, released just two days before his death in January 2016. Widely regarded as one of the most influential musicians and performers of the previous five decades, Bowie demolished what were thought to be the limitations of stagecraft in rock music, as well as proving it possible for an artist to constantly - and successfully - redefine himself. As a result, Bowie has been credited with inspiring genres as disparate as glam and punk rock.

This sharply written and gorgeously designed retrospective follows Bowie's career from the folkie baroque rock of his debut, to his breakthrough single 'Space Oddity', and on to his flamboyant glam rock alter ego, Ziggy Stardust.

Author Pat Gilbert continues through Bowie's soul phase, his electronic Berlin trilogy, his massive pop success in the 1980s, and his turn to electronica in the 1990s, as well as subsequent tours, notable performances, collaborations, and accolades.

Nearly every page is illustrated with stunning concert and candid offstage photography, including gig posters, 7-inch picture sleeves, concert ticket stubs, and more. The result is a fitting tribute to one of the most influential and admired stars in rock history.

This 224-page hardcover book is to be published by Voyageur Press on 2nd November.

You can pre-order Bowie: The Illustrated Story NOW.

Check out the 3:15 featurette for SHOT! The Psycho-Spiritual Mantra Of Rock documentary film out now!

The documentary directed by Barnaby Clay is a deep look into the mind of one of rock's greatest living photographers: MICK ROCK. Rock's work with some of the most accomplished personalities of the past forty years - DAVID BOWIE, Queen, Blondie, Lou Reed and Iggy Pop - created many of the images that would come to define them. Presented in his own words, Rock takes us through his journey from the glam rock shimmer of London, through the snarl of NYC punk and into the new millennium, combining a portrait of the man who did the work, with a look at what the work did to the man.

In theatres, On Demand, on Amazon Video and iTunes now!

Published today is MICK RONSON: THE SPIDER WITH THE PLATINUM HAIR by WEIRD & GILLY via Music Press Books.

Mick Ronson was a lot more than just the guitarist for Ziggy Stardust. This fully updated first biography is full of first-hand recollections by those who were closest to him including a foreword by his wife Suzi and a hand-written speech by his daughter Lisa.

During the five years it has taken to collate this work, authors Weird and Gilly have spoken to over fifty family members, close friends and colleagues including exclusive interviews with Suzi Ronson, David and Maggi Ronson (brother and sister), Minnie Ronson (mother), Steve Popovich (manager), Lou Reed, Mick Jones, Ian Hunter, Chrissie Hynde, Glen Matlock, Cherry Vanilla, Steve Harley, Bob Harris, Joe Elliott and a host of others.

As a result, this book provides a deeply intimate and compelling insight into the life and times of an extraordinarily talented guitarist. A man who was tender and caring off the stage, yet fierce and electrifying on it. DAVID BOWIE, Jeff Beck, Ian Hunter and Annette Peacock are just a few of the names that were to become associated with the Mick Ronson legend. He toured with Bob Dylan, played with Mott The Hoople, worked with Lou Reed and produced an impressive number of albums with arresting originality.

From his days as a mobile grocer to his performances at Wembley Stadium, this minutely detailed biography also includes scores of unpublished photographs and unseen rarities including: a hand-written six-page autobiography by the man himself, love letters to his first girlfriend, family album photographs and an exhaustive discography.

After losing his battle with cancer, Mick passed away in the spring of 1993 at the young age of 46. This book is a salute to his remarkable music and legacy. Fully revised and updated with scores of new unpublished photographs and even more rare memorabilia.

You can purchase Mick Ronson: The Spider with the Platinum Hair NOW!

Heads up for a scheduled publication now in October, is EARTHBOUND: David Bowie and The Man Who Fell To Earth by SUSAN COMPO, to be published by Jawbone Press on 24th October.

Synopsis: 'Before there was Star Wars... before there was Close Encounters... there was The Man Who Fell To Earth.' - advertising tag line for 1981 reissue of the film.

Earthbound is the first book-length exploration of a true classic of twentieth-century science-fiction cinema, shot under the heavy, ethereal skies of New Mexico by the legendary British director Nicolas Roeg and starring David Bowie in a role he seemed born for as an extraterrestrial named Thomas Newton who comes to Earth in search of water. Based on a novel by the highly regarded American writer Walter Tevis, this dreamy, distressing, and visionary film resonates even more strongly in the twenty-first century than it did on its original release during the year of the US Bicentennial.

Drawing on extensive research and exclusive first-hand interviews with members of the cast and crew, Earthbound begins with a look at Tevis's 1963 novel before moving into a detailed analysis of a film described by its director as 'a sci-fi film without a lot of sci-fi tools' and starring a group of actors - David Bowie, Buck Henry, Candy Clark, Rip Torn - later described by one of them (Henry) as 'not a cast but a dinner party.' It also seeks to uncover the mysteries surrounding Bowie's rejected soundtrack to the film (elements of which later ended up his groundbreaking 1977 album Low) and closes with a look at his return to the themes and characters of The Man Who Fell To Earth in one of his final works, the acclaimed musical production Lazarus.

Available now is 'SOUL LOVE - DAVID BOWIE IN PHILADELPHIA 1974' the latest publication from CYGNET COMMITTEE.

Bowie's 'plastic soul' period produced an utter classic album in 'Young Americans', but the short 'Philly Dogs' tour which preceded it remains an enigmatic mystery to all but those who were lucky enough to attend in 1974.

Here, for the first time, is the illustrated story of David Bowie's soul revue as it played out in the City of Brotherly Love... the home of Sigma Sound... Philadelphia PA.

       - 220mm x 220mm.
       - 40 pages.
       - Limited edition of 1,000 copies.
       - Hand numbered with certificate.
       - Printed on HP Indigo Presses.

This 40-page limited edition fan-published book is the fourth volume that has been produced.

If you are new to these wonderful publications, there is also a special offer where you can get the complete collection of all 4 books for a reduced price.

Update: #2
Dear all, we are amazed by the success and enthusiasm generated by our book project! Our original intention was to limit the edition to the number sold over a few weeks, which we never thought would reach a total of 100. Having 15 pre-reserved, we first offered 85, but orders came so quickly and 99 have been sold in one week, 46 of which just yesterday! As a result many friends of ours were angry that they couldn't order in time and were falling out with us. We hope you don't mind that it's more than 100. We don't want to make Bowie collectors unhappy and loose friends, so decided to offer more. It will in any case remain a very limited edition and we will keep you informed of the progress.

Best regards, Marshall and Reto.

With the release of his 2009 sci-fi masterpiece 'Moon', director Duncan Jones introduced himself as one of cinema's most exciting new talents. Now he's making his highly anticipated return to the genre with 'Mute', a futuristic mystery starring Alexander Skarsgård, Paul Rudd, and Justin Theroux.

IfOnly has unlocked access to the BAFTA Award-winning director with two rare passes to the Los Angeles premiere of 'Mute'. You'll also have the special honour of receiving an in-person visit and a photo opportunity with Duncan.

Following the premiere, you and your guest will be invited to a VIP-only after-party with the film's cast and crew.

Both Duncan and his wife, Rodene, who is a breast cancer survivor, are active supporters of cancer research. They are excited to offer this experience, which is part of a collective effort by Nick Hexum's circle of friends to benefit the Multiple Myeloma Research Foundation (MMRF). Nick has been a dedicated supporter of this organisation, since his mother was diagnosed with the incurable blood cancer.
