David Bowie left us 10 years ago: the Rockol special

It was January 10, 2016 when the news of David Bowie’s death hit the music world in a devastating way. Ten years later, her memory is still alive, and Rockol celebrates her today with a special – you can find it here – full of original content.

You will find thirty covers of his songs specially created for Rockol by as many Italian artists: Boosta of Subsonica, Perturbazione, Ivan Cattaneo, Federico Poggipollini, Aua, Carlo Guaitoli, Porfirio Rubirosa, Jack Jaselli, Fabio Ferri of Delta V, LeLe Battista, Dardust, Roberto Cacciapaglia, Andrea Chimenti, Jet Set Roger, Francesco Bianconi of Baustelle, Mario Biondi, Davide Toffolo of Tre Allegri Ragazzi Morti, Roberto Colombo, Andrea Mirò, Maurizio Marsico, Gianluca de Rubertis, Alessandro Raina, Erica Mou, Saturnino, Andy from Bluvertigo, Musica Nuda (Magoni and Spinetti), Giulio Casale, Fabio Cinti, The Winstons, Davide Ferrario.

You will find playlists: ten Bowie duets with other artists, ten songs with his name in the title, and two chosen and commented by Paolo Madeddu: ten covers sung by Bowie and ten Bowie songs performed by international artists.

Finally, you will also find the prefaces of two books: that of “Fantastic Voyage” by Francesco Donadio and the one, co-written by Manuel Agnelli and Paolo Fresu, of “David Bowie beyond space and time”.

There is enough material to be able to dedicate a good part of the weekend to refreshing or deepening your knowledge of David Bowie. Happy reading and happy listening!
