David Bowie gets a street named after him in Paris – on the day he would have turned 77.

It would be on January 8th David Bowie turns 77. To mark the occasion, a street named after the British pop icon was inaugurated in Paris on Monday. Rue David Bowie is located in the 13th arrondissement in the southeast of the French capital. Next to his name on the street sign are the musician’s dates of life: 1947-2016.

The idea of naming a newly created street after David Bowie arose back in 2020. The singer died on June 10, 2016 in New York City, one day after his 69th birthday. His last album “Blackstar” had just been released.

David Bowie: Special relationship with Paris

David Bowie has a lot in common with Paris, as the city announced on the occasion of the unveiling of the street. Bowie is said to have given his first concert outside of Great Britain here in 1965. Near Rue David Bowie is the concert hall where Bowie stopped off as part of his last world tour.

David Bowie also has a connection to Paris for personal reasons. The versatile artist proposed to his wife Iman (68) while traveling on the Seine in 1990. The couple were married from 1992 until Bowie’s death in 2016.
