Come help us celebrate the publication of 'HERO: David Bowie' A fascinating new biography by Lesley Ann-Jones TMRW night 7pm at Rye Books

In Hero: David Bowie, Jones turns her attention to Bowie in a candid exploration of the man behind the reinventions. The book will be a journey to discover the real David Jones; as well as the David Bowie who lived eternally in the spotlight.Covering his music, his lifestyle, the golden-year highs and the wilderness lows.


Jones is the author of a number of biographies including Freddie Mercury: The Definitive Biography and Ride a White Swan: The Lives and Death of Marc Bolan


As a long-time fan and associate of Bowie, Jones has brought meticulous research together with her personal insights and understanding to create an extensive and detailed portrait of a one of music?s greatest heroes.


Jones said: "I am thrilled to be writing this. I met David Bowie when I was a child, became a music writer thanks to him, and worked with him down the years. I used to joke that a call from David to write his biography was the Holy Grail of publishing. That is never going to happen now, of course. But I relish the opportunity to tell his story from a personal point of view.

Lots of people have  permanent or temporary disabilities which mean they have to use crutches or a wheelchair.
    • I can’t remember where I read that figure but this article in the Grauniad from 2023 discusses Ocado results from 2022. The average shopping cart fell to £118 from £129 the previous year. But Ocado lost £500m that year on approximately 20 million orders (circa 400k orders per week). So, averaging out to £25 lost per order. Ocado pauses building new warehouses as annual losses balloon to £500m | Ocado | The Guardian  Obviously, the £500m loss includes various factors. But Ocado has existed for 25 years and only made a small profit in a couple of those years. The rest have been huge losses. Yet it continues to raise funds and speculation sends the share price up and down. In that respect,  it’s like the UK version of Tesla. Meanwhile, the main growth in the supermarket sector has been for Aldi and Lidl, who do not deliver.
