New Yorkers have blessed the late David Bowie with his own street. New Yorkers have blessed the late David Bowie with new defacto street art.
Fans took the streets of Houston and Bowery during the the city's second largest snowstorm in history. Twenty-seven inches of snowfall on Saturday didn't prevent the members of the Lisa Project from renaming street to "David Bowery." Fans of the legendary, shape-shifting rockstar met at the corner of Houston and Bowery on Saturday night during the city’s second largest snowstorm in history. Twenty-seven inches of snowfall couldn’t prevent members of the Lisa Project from renaming the street to “David Bowery.”
The sign rests above the famous Bowery Wall, where a crew of artists rushed to christen the street for Bowie, the legendary shape-shifting musician who lived nearby on Lafayette Street. The 69-year-old rocker passed away on January 10 after an 18-month fight with cancer. Despite hardly resembling the artists’ name, the tribute was painted nearby Bowie’s former apartment on Lafayette Street. The gesture was just one of many tributes in New York City — and across the world — remembering the life of the beloved musician.
