A new campaign has been launched to build a three storey lightning bolt in Brixton to honour David Bowie.
The memorial is inspired by the iconic make up the late star wears on the cover of his classic album Aladdin Sane. It is set to be built on the pavement opposite Brixton’s underground station.
Brixton marks a special place in the pop icon’s history, being the neighbourhood where he was born.
The official crowdfunding page stated: ‘Just as an otherworldly David Bowie landed in our lives, the memorial (is it too soon to call it the ZiggyZag?) stands embedded in the Brixton pavement - a three storey tall bolt from above.
‘A nine metre missive from another dimension, hurled from afar. Unexplained, yet utterly familiar; a poignant reminder that life does exist beyond the everyday. That music and art and curiosity are vital, positive contributors to our collective existence.’
The project is looking to raise a total of £990,000 by 21 March for it to go ahead.
