JULY 3 |
TODAY IN 1973, AFTER 182 ‘ZIGGY STARDUST’ CONCERT PERFORMANCES, DAVID BOWIE ANNOUNCED HE WAS RETIRING FROM LIVE PERFORMING. BUT IT TURNS OUT HE WAS RETIRING THE “ZIGGY STARDUST” STAGE PERSONA, NOT BOWIE HIMSELF.
TRAGEDY MARKED JULY 3RD IN ROCK HISTORY: IN 1969, FORMER ROLLING STONES GUITARIST BRIAN JONES WAS FOUND DEAD IN HIS SWIMMING POOL…. THE OFFICIAL CAUSE WAS RECORDED AS “DEATH BY MISADVENTURE.”
AND TWO YEARS LATER, IN 1971, ‘DOORS’ SINGER JIM MORRISON WAS FOUND DEAD IN THE BATHTUB OF HIS PARIS APARTMENT; THE OFFICIAL CAUSE IS LISTED AS “HEART ATTACK INDUCED BY RESPIRATORY PROBLEMS.” BOTH MEN WERE JUST 27 YEARS OLD.
