Trevor Bolder, best known for being David Bowie’s bassist during the legendary Ziggy Stardust era, died on Tuesday.
“Trevor was a wonderful musician and a major inspiration for whichever band he was working with. But he was foremostly a tremendous guy, a great man”, Bowie wrote on his official website.
Toyah, a huge David Bowie and Ziggy fan, also paid tribute to Trevor, via Twitter, yesterday. The tribute, along with others from Bowie, Pete Wylie, Gary Kemp and more was included in a Hot Press news report yesterday.

These Safari Records photos were recently on sale at ebay. The photos aren’t rare these days but as Safari promos they are quite unique. This was possibly the only time Safari released photos that promoted Toyah as an actress (in The Corn Is Green).
Incidentally, The Corn Is Green airs very early tomorrow (and also in June) on True Movies.
