• This has some real fanboy vibes from David. Love it! 

    Yeah just look at his smile! Aw!

    He looks like a high school kid with his idol, which is basically accurate. 

  • Daltry is 5" 6" - he looks so short compared to Bowie.

    Bowie def wore lifts

    Bowie's height was reported as 5" 10:". He appeared smaller due to high slight build. Madame Tussauds London confirmed that Bowie provided "hundreds of precise measurements" during a sitting in 1983 to ensure the accurate creation of his figure.

    Bowie was larger than life for to his charisma though.

    This is the way

    Charisma does a lot for perceived presence

    I met Bowie twice backstage. I’m 6 even, he was clearly like 5 8-9

    I think this was Live Aid, based on Bowie's outfit. Bowie had a nice heeled loafer there I think. he did like a heel and a platform boot unabashedly, stylish guy.

    But Iggy is reported the same height as Roger Daltrey (1.68m or about 5'6") and sometimes he looked like that next to Bowie (about up to Bowie's ear, more or less depending on their shoes and pose.) The reported height for Bowie is 1.79m, about 5'10 1/2 so that may be part of why too.

  • Bowie was 5’10 1/2”. Salty was short, saw The Who twice so he was probably 5’6”” or 5’7”.

    Dude was built though

    Bowie was not 5’10 1/2”. I met him once in ‘97 when I was 17 and pushing six feet and he was significantly (and surprisingly) smaller than I was. Internet says 5’ 10”, but I’m guessing that was celeb wishful thinking.
