20 h. ago Ten years after his death, is David Bowie’s musical legacy at risk of fading from view?

From the V&A to the Stranger Things finale, the pop icon still looms large – but with lower streaming figures than his peers, how many new listeners are discovering his music?• ‘A perplexing, astonishing finale’: world pays tribute to David Bowie a decade after his deathWhen David Bowie died on 10 January 2016, such was the scale of media coverage and public mourning that one would have presumed his music would be everywhere for ever, elevated as he was, to misquote Smash Hits, to the position of the People’s Dame.
