Suzi Ronson on the Bowie years, the Ziggy hairstyle, and the Spiders' bad breakup
Suzi Ronson's memoir Me and Mr Jones is out now
I find Suzi Ronson on the Lust for Life tour, with a crack team of musicians including Glen Matlock of the Sex Pistols, and Blondie’s Clem Burke. Suzi’s claim to fame in the rock is through her roles as David Bowie's hairdresser and Mick Ronson's wife, and her storied life travelling with that seminal outfit in the 1970s.
She compares those Ziggy Stardust experiences - where she left her English suburban life in the distance - to running away and joining the circus. Now 74, Ronson retains a transatlantic glamour that brightens up a dull winter afternoon.
