Ziggy Stardust

"Ziggy Stardust" is a concept and alter ego created by musician David Bowie for his 1972 album *The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars*. Ziggy is a fictional, flamboyant rock star from outer space who acts as a messenger during a time of global chaos. The persona represents themes of rebellion, identity, and fame, blending glam rock fashion with a theatrical, otherworldly identity. The album and character are considered pioneering works in rock history, influencing future music and popular culture with their storytelling and boundary-pushing style.
