Bowie's Heroes

Another chance to hear Matt Everitt's exploration of David Bowie's influences - the writers, musicians, composers and artists who helped to shape his work.

By exploring the the music Bowie loved and sharing insights from those with whom Bowie worked, the programme charts the ways that his songwriting evolved over the years.

With contributions from many Bowie collaborators, such as Dave Grohl, Frank Black, Nile Rogers, Neil Tennant, Tony Visconti, Rick Wakeman, Brian Eno, Moby and Billy Corgan. We also hear from musicians who cite him as a major influence, including Simon Le Bon, Johnny Marr, Martin Fry, Sinead O'Connor and Wayne Coyne.

First broadcast in 2013.
