The world's first statue of David Bowie has been unveiled in the town where he premiered Ziggy Stardust, Daily Mail has learned.
The bronze sculpture, called Earthly Messenger, now takes pride of place in Aylesbury's Market Square.
The rock star made his debut as Ziggy Stardust at Friars music club in the Buckinghamshire town.
The life-size statue features a likeness to Bowie in 2002 alongside his alter egos, with Ziggy at the front. Speakers mounted above it will play a Bowie song every hour. Singer-songwriter Howard Jones revealed the piece and called it a 'result for Aylesbury'.
Money was raised for the project through grants and a £100,000 crowdfunding campaign by music promoter David Stopps.
