David Bowie will be honored in stamp form, via a new set of 10 Royal Mail tribute stamps. Six of the stamps will feature images of Bowie album covers: Hunky Dory, Aladdin Sane, Heroes, Let’s Dance, Earthling and Blackstar. The remaining four stamps will feature images of Bowie performing live on different tours: 1972’s The Ziggy Stardust Tour, 1978’s The Stage Tour, 1983’s The Serious Moonlight Tour and 2004’s A Reality Tour. “For five decades David Bowie was at the forefront of contemporary culture, and has influenced successive generations of musicians, artists, designers and writers,” Royal Mail’s Philip Parker said in a statement. “Royal Mail’s stamp issue celebrates this unique figure and some of his many celebrated personas.” Bowie is the first solo artist to be commemorated on a postage stamp by Royal Mail.
