Paris names street after Bowie celebrating music icon’s legacy
Paris immortalized late British music icon David Bowie by naming a street after him in the city’s southeast on what would have been his 77th birthday on Monday.
The inauguration of rue David-Bowie was first announced in 2020 by Jérôme Coumet, mayor of the 13th arrondissement. The tribute celebrated Bowie’s first Paris performance in 1965 and his lasting impact on music, fashion and culture.
