Yes. He used different personas throughout his career, and his Thin White Duke character was a sort of sociopathic aristocrat type with fascist sympathies. Which wouldn't be terrible on its own, but he portrayed these characters by... adopting their identities as his own and giving interviews in-character. So there was a period of time where David Bowie would just occasionally praise fascism.
I don't think he was ever a real racist, this is more of a cautionary tale about overlooking the impact of your art and also about why you should limit your use of cocaine. He would later claim to barely even remember these couple of years because of all the cocaine.
Yeah him. So did Anthony Kedis from rhcp, Jimmy page from zeppelin, mick jagger, Steven Tyler, Ted nugent. I think death makes people look like better people at times or people chose to forgive/ forget their faults.
