David Bowie statue to be erected in Aylesbury, following successful crowdfunding campaign
By Andy Malt | Published on Wednesday 7 December 2016
A crowdfunding campaign to raise money for a statue of David Bowie in Aylesbury has raised more than its target of £100,000. This means that plans for the statue will now go ahead.
In a statement, organiser David Stopps said: “We are very grateful to everybody. It’s been a Biblical 40 days. The bottom line now is that the statue will happen”.
The statue of Bowie will be erected in Aylesbury Market Square, referenced in the opening line of his track ‘Five Years’. Bowie also debuted songs from his ‘Hunky Dory’ and ‘Ziggy Stardust’ albums in the town.
