A Hidden Treasure at the David Bowie Centre
The bond between idols and their fans is universal—even when the “fan” is one of the world’s biggest pop stars. Over the weekend, the David Bowie Centre officially opened in London, showcasing a staggering collection of 90,000 items from the legendary artist’s life and career. Among them lies a rare and deeply personal gem: a letter written by Lady Gaga to her idol, David Bowie.
Gaga’s Heartfelt Words ❤️
In the handwritten letter, Gaga opens up about the impact Bowie had on her career and her life. She writes:
“Dear David Bowie, It was truly an honor to receive an advanced copy of your album. I cried, in fact, listening to each song. How does he know I exist?”
The pop icon continues with an almost confessional tone:
“II feel as though my entire career has been an artistic plea for you to notice me”
Finally, Gaga makes a bold, fan-like request:
“I’m finishing my album ARTPOP and am in New York. I would be grateful and honored to meet you. Love + Art, GAGA”
Whether or not that meeting ever took place remains a mystery, left to the imagination of her fans and Bowie enthusiasts alike.
