When asked about his legacy, which musician responded: “I’d love people to believe that I really had great haircuts.”?

David Bowie: The Last Five Years aired in January 2017, produced and directed by Francis Whately as a follow-up to his acclaimed David Bowie: Five Years which was broadcast on BBC Two in 2013.

As with the first film, this new piece will feature a wealth of rare and unseen archive footage and early audio interviews which have never been released before. This includes the original vocal which Bowie recorded for Lazarus, his last release before his death, which has never been heard before.

Bowie’s humour echoes throughout the film – when asked about his interest in outer space he jokes “I wouldn’t dream of getting on a space ship, It’d scare the crap out of me… I’m scared going down the end of the garden.” And to wrap up the documentary an old interview is uncovered where Bowie was asked what he’d like his legacy to be. “I’d love people to believe,” he says, “that I really had great haircuts.”
