English Town Launches Campaign To Rename Itself After David Bowie

Thanks to UltimateClassicRock.com comes the story of one David Bowie fan in the UK who has launched a campaign to have the English town of Aylesbury renamed "Aylesbowie."

Turns out Aylesbury’s Friars venue played to host to several notable moments in Bowie’s history, including his first-ever performance in his Ziggy Stardust character, in fact Bowie performed the world debuts of two of the most iconic albums of the 20th Century, Hunky Dory and The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders From Mars at Friars Aylesbury in 1971/72. He formed the Spiders from Mars in the tiny Friars dressing room and referenced Aylesbury Market Square in the first line of ‘Five Years.’
