TerryONeill recalls his encounters with the elusive ‘Thin White Duke’ via AnotherMan
. In the years that followed, the protean rock and roll star slicked back his hair, ditched the glitter, grew his eyebrows out, and shot his septum to hell. While it is this Bowie – the elusive ‘Thin White Duke’ – that is the focus of O’Neill’s newly published book,
, the octogenarian snapper had more to say about Ziggy’s final moments in an interview with Another Man“I went down [to the Marquee Club] having no idea what to expect. I went in and there were all these fans lined up and each one looked different from the next. Lots of them had make-up on – the boys, too – and when I went backstage I found out why. David was dressed in a tight spiderweb-like bodysuit. It was very glam rock, with a bit of late-60s thrown in.
“There was [another] unexpected moment during that Marquee performance. Something I didn’t even see until I looked at the photographs. One of David’s costumes was a bodysuit that had a lot of cut-outs, one leg was bare. During one of the performances, he was singing up a storm and at one point, got on the ground on his knees. There are a few of my pictures that – if you look closely – you saw a lot more of David than television would allow. What do they call it? A wardrobe malfunction?
“After looking at all my photos in the book, I have to go back to the Marquee performance. I was only there a day, remember. And in that day, I managed to capture David on-stage in full performance, backstage getting dressed, backstage having a quiet moment. We also found these really wonderful photos of David – dressed casually in jeans and a T-shirt – coaching Marianne, laughing with her. Really nice, quiet moments.
