David Bowie, a.k.a. the Thin White Duke, has exhibited so many different fashion looks and musical styles throughout his decades-long career he's unquestionably known as something of a chameleon. Only one man has ever really succeeded in channeling Bowie's multiple personalities, and that's musician David Brighton. As Space Oddity, Brighton performs as Bowie throughout his various phases, from the eccentric, futuristic Ziggy Stardust to the “Modern Love”-era rock star—and damn if Brighton doesn't make for the ultimate Bowie doppelgänger. Not just visually, but musically, as Brighton and backing band nail Bowie's catalog to an amazing likeness. You too will want to see Brighton with your own eyes to believe his uncanny transformations from one Bowie to another as he sings just about all your favorite songs, and agree that as Bowie, Brighton makes the grade.
