Signed limited edition print of David Bowie taken by photographer Pat Pope, shot backstage at the Phoenix Festival in 1997.
Pat recalls, "Pointing to the stool and black background, Bowie sat and posed for my camera. I shot but said virtually nothing by virtue of being terrified. We were eye to eye………in silence. I shot about three films and he got up to leave. I couldn’t believe I’d waited 30 years for this moment and then blown it by saying nothing, as he and his assistants were leaving, one turned to him and said ‘don’t you need a photo in your costume for tomorrow’s paper?’
‘Oh yes’ he replied. ‘Pat, can you take it……….we’ll pay you!’
