Ziggy Stardust is one of David Bowie's most iconic and enduring personas, introduced in the early 1970s. Ziggy Stardust was the fictional androgynous rock star at the center of Bowie's 1972 concept album "The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars." This character became a defining figure of glam rock, known for his flamboyant fashion, striking makeup, and vibrant red hair, pushing the boundaries of gender and identity in popular culture.

Ziggy Stardust's narrative revolves around an extraterrestrial being who arrives on Earth to deliver a message of hope in the final five years of its existence. Ziggy becomes a rock 'n' roll messiah but eventually falls victim to his own fame, excess, and the eventual consumption by his fans. The character and the album explored themes of fame, sexuality, and the alienation of modern society, resonating with the youth of the time and leaving a lasting impact on music and fashion.

Bowie's live performances as Ziggy Stardust were theatrical and immersive, featuring elaborate costumes and stage sets, blending rock music with performance art. This persona allowed Bowie to explore a wide range of musical styles, from rock and roll to soul and proto-punk, showcasing his versatility as an artist.
