Some Fantastic Unseen David Bowie Photos
Other
I was and still am a big David Bowie fan and i spotted this article today showing photos of his early days most of which i have never seen before
The text with the photos was also very informative, for instance, he had two different colour eyes, i always thought this was genetic, but it says it happened after a fight with a childhood friend , you live and learn

Big fan also T. Spoke with him on the phone once cos his ex missus Angie was at a friend's house. I was young and impressionable and struck dumb for once. My first concert was a Bowie one..many more besides.

MelissaLee1 I hope you got close enough to correct the misinformation (AKA crap) posted that his eyes were different colours (They were both blue) They might have appeared different colours to the uninformed who don't know that the colour of eyes is determined by the iris, one of which in DBs case was not showing as much as the other due to a permanently dilated pupil on the other.
Even the article linked to did not say his eyes were different colours (but mentioned the dilated pupil).
I am sure as a fan you are able to help confirm this as correct (I thought it was common knowledge) and belatedly wish David happy birthday for yesterday, when he shared his birthday with Elvis and Shirley Bassey. (that's perhaps a bit more interesting - and factual).
Just in case you missed the rubbishing of the myth (years ago) that his eyes were different colours, the picture here (top right corner) should help. rscharfmanmd.com/david-bowies-different-colored-eyes/

davidstockport 2 mins on a phone call and then passing him across to Angie is all..not a video call sadly so never got to gaze into those peepers but yes his eyes were both the same colour.Another myth is P J Proby's flies.Got to share a stage with him once.He proposed to me and so many others that he lost count I am sure!

Here's an article that actually refers to his two different coloured eyes, despite it being the enlarged pupil causing the difference , so my reference to the eyes being different colours is justified up to a point , you would have to know the history of the condition to realise otherwise

It's an honest mistake.Run a street poll in Brixton,his home town and most people would probably say the same. No fear.

MelissaLee1 Cheers M, just as a matter of interest here are some famous people that suffered hemorrhoids , some people profess to know a lot about them, the people that is, but the likes of Marilyn Monroe kept it a secret apparently
You inspired me to post this with the mention of P J Proby's flies, i did some 'probing' and i found this old footage about a split crotch , i couldn't see the split happening anywhere , though i did spot Mary Whitehouse so there must have been an incident of indecency at some point

telmel Proby wore tight pants which split at the knee. Lenny Kravitz on the other hand went Full Commando.

telmel That article article clearly says.
In reality, though, David Bowie had a condition known as anisocoria, which effectively meant that the pupils in his eyes were of different sizes – which made his irises appear to be* of different colours,
*"appear to be" doesn't mean the same as "are".
You say in your OP that "you live and learn" - most of us do but unfortunately in your case it appears the only thing you have learned is how not to read beyond the headline, and instead of proving yourself correct you make yourself appear very foolish by refusing to learn anthing.
People who "appear" very foolish - very often are.
Even the "poor light gif" you posted. (above) Doesn't support your assertions, here's a better close up which clearly shows his eyes were blue (but not as much of the BLUE iris is showing on the left eye). Changing the amount showing doesn't change the actual colour. (when explaining to some people stating the obvious is sometimes necessary).

telmel What is this forum sinking to - when people stoop to the level of trying to expose which famous people have haemorrhoids. In my opinion what some people consider an embarrasing condition is between them and perhaps their medical professional. The possibility they use haemorrhoid cream as lip balm doesn't make them qualified to comment.
I might take this opportunity to mention that when the same person posted false information about a health condition he said I had (hypertension) - he later said it was the voices in his head that told him. My first thoughts were, when offering me the use of his blood pressure monitor were was he implying he had medical qualifications ... then (more likely it was for personal use) obviously not any UK qualifications when he repeatedly spells medical conditions using the US spelling.

I don't use a monitor as i do not have blood pressure problems i merely suggested he take it easy as he was shouting in his posts, using capitals and bold and could have caused himself health problems related to his blood pressure, i was actually showing some concern
Anything else said was tongue in cheek, but he pretends he is taking things literally for effect
I thought the New Year might bring in changes , but sadly not in this case
