It’s been 36 years since David Bowie last performed as Ziggy Stardust, but rumors are gathering that he may be about to resurrect the character. “Of all the shows on this tour, this particular show will remain with us the longest, because not only is it the last show of the tour, but it's the last show that we'll ever do. Thank you.” That’s how Bowie left Ziggy on July 3, 1973, as he finished up a set at the Hammersmith Odeon in London.

The rumors of a Ziggy revival have only surfaced in the British tabloids, so shouldn’t be taken too seriously just yet. It would be a curious move for Bowie if the tales turn out to be true, especially as Spiders From Mars guitarist Mick Ronson--whose influence on the album shouldn’t be underestimated--passed away in 1993.

"Coachella tried to book Bowie last year and he refused, so they got Prince to headline instead,” a “source” tells the Daily Star. "But there's a very strong chance they will be able to persuade him this year." The stories about a Ziggy resurrection are unlikely to be true, especially as Bowie has allegedly tweeted about a return to Berlin to work on new material. [AngryApe]
