David Bowie’s early years to be explored in new documentary

Following on from the BBC’s 2013 documentary David Bowie: Five Years and 2017’s David Bowie: The Last Five Years, the aptly named  David Bowie: The First Five Years is set to act as a prequel to the previous two features, focusing on Bowie’s emergence as a musician in the 1960s.

 

 

While details are scarce at this stage, it’s assumed that the documentary will showcase rare archival footage and audio clips from when Bowie was performing under the stage name Davey Jones, as well as shining a light on his training as a mime and performance artist in the ’60s up until his international success with ‘Space Odyssey’.
