DAVID AND IMAN IN HOLLYWOOD

Among the most popular images we’ve posted on socials in 2025 are photographs of David and Iman. So, it seemed appropriate to close the year with one here.

This shot was taken by Jim Smeal and here’s the caption that accompanied it back in 1992...

JANUARY 12, 1992:

The National Academy of Cable Programming hosted the 13th Annual ACE Awards during a live televised ceremony from the Pantages Theater in Hollywood, Ca. Awards for excellence were presented in multiple categories.

One of the special celebrity presenters was model/actress IMAN who attended with her fiancé, rock superstar DAVID BOWIE. The duo are set to wed in June.

A SEASONAL MESSAGE TO YOU

This year we’ve lifted a message from an old card sent by David to friends and family...

WISHING YOU

THE JOYS OF

THE HOLIDAY SEASON

AND PEACE IN

THE NEW YEAR

DAVID BOWIE

We’ve accompanied it with a shot of David looking particularly joyful in February 1997, when he received his star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame on Hollywood Boulevard.

Thanks for all your support throughout 2025 with much love from all of us here at David Bowie HQ.

LAZARUS DIGITAL SINGLE RELEASED GLOBALLY TEN YEARS AGO TODAY

“Ain’t that just like me...”

Following the UK premiere of David Bowie’s Lazarus single on BBC Radio 6 Music’s Steve Lamacq show on 17th December 2015, Lazarus was released worldwide as a digital single the following day on the 18th.

No images from the video were available at this point, as that wasn’t released until the following month.

LAZARUS OPENED TEN YEARS AGO TODAY

“By the time I got to New York...”

LAZARUS by DAVID BOWIE & ENDA WALSH

Directed by IVO VAN HOVE

Inspired by the novel The Man Who Fell to Earth by WALTER TEVIS

Following nearly three weeks of previews, public performances of Lazarus began ten years ago this evening at the New York Theatre Workshop (NYTW).

David Bowie attended the opening night, and it was to be his final public appearance.

See the official Bowie socials (FB, IG, X) for a random selection of pictures, including photos from rehearsals, the opening night, and images we used at the time for the build-up and reviews.
