Fifth Stop: 23 Heddon Street, London, UK; The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars

The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars (often shortened to Ziggy Stardust) is a 1972 concept album by English rock musician David Bowie, which is loosely based on a story of a rock star named Ziggy Stardust. It peaked at number five in the United Kingdom[2] and number 75 in the United States on the Billboard Music Charts. The album cover photograph was taken outside furriers "K. West" at 23 Heddon Street, London, W1. The post office in the background (now "The Living Room, W1" bar) was the site of London's first nightclub, The Cave of the Golden Calf, which opened in 1912 (Wikipedia, 2011).
