David BowieDavid Bowie entered the 1980s by radically redefining his sound, starting with the critically acclaimed 1980 album Scary Monsters (and Super Creeps) and its innovative UK number-one hit “Ashes to Ashes”. In 1983, he achieved unprecedented global pop superstardom with the blockbuster album Let’s Dance, co-produced by Nile Rodgers, which spawned massive chart-toppers like “Modern Love” and “China Girl”. Throughout the decade, Bowie remained a massive cultural force, performing a legendary set at Live Aid in 1985, starring as Jareth the Goblin King in Labyrinth in 1986, and closing the era by forming the hard-rock band Tin Machine in 1989.
