So, when the chance came to dive into this extraordinary five-year chapter of Bowie’s life for 6 Music and BBC Sounds, hearing from those who joined him on his creative journey and those he continues to inspire, I was excited to help share the story of such an incredible transformation.”
Moss concluded: “This podcast is a real celebration of my friend, a true British icon.”
Meanwhile, Will Wilkin, commissioning executive at BBC Music for David Bowie: Changeling, said of the podcast: “David Bowie and Kate Moss both transcend fashion, music, and art – true creative forces constantly reshaping culture.
