Davie Bowie-- --On 24 April 1992, David Bowie married Somali-American model Iman in a private ceremony in Lausanne. The wedding was later solemnized on 6 June in Florence.[191] They have one daughter, Alexandria Lexi Zahra Jones, born in August 2000.[192] The couple reside primarily in New York City and London. Regarding his religion, in 2005 he said, Questioning my spiritual life has always been germane to what I was writing. Always. He added that he is bothered by being not quite an atheist.[194] In the Esquire interview What Ive Learned, he stated, Im in awe of the universe, but I dont necessarily believe theres an intelligence or agent behind it. I do have a passion for the visual in religious rituals, though, even though they may be completely empty and bereft of substance. The incense is powerful and provocative, whether Buddhist or Catholic. Bowie has shown an interest in Buddhism since 1967. He frequently studied in London under the Tibetan Lama Chime Rinpoche before becoming a solo artist. During a 2001 interview, Bowie claimed that after a few months of study, he told me, You dont want to be Buddhist ... You should follow music. Bowie later wrote the song Silly Boy Blue and repeatedly sang Chimes name at the end of the track on his 1967 album David Bowie. Bowie also became a student of the Crazy wisdom Tulku Chögyam Trungpa David Robert Jones (born 8 January 1947), known by his stage name David Bowie (/ˈboʊ.i/),[1] is an English musician, singer-songwriter, record producer, actor and arranger. Bowie has been a major figure in the world of popular music for over four decades, and is renowned as an innovator, particularly for his work in the 1970s. He is known for his distinctive voice as well as the intellectual depth and eclecticism of his work. Bowie first caught the eye and ear of the public in July 1969 when his song Space Oddity reached the top five of the UK Singles Chart. After a three-year period of experimentation he re-emerged in 1972 during the glam rock era with the flamboyant, androgynous alter ego Ziggy Stardust, spearheaded by the hit single Starman and the album The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars. Bowies impact at that time, as described by biographer David Buckley, challenged the core belief of the rock music of its day and created perhaps the biggest cult in popular culture. The relatively short-lived Ziggy persona proved merely one facet of a career marked by continual reinvention, musical innovation and striking visual presentation. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Bowie
