Bowie, 67, defies age to land Brit award

David Bowie has become the oldest winner of a Brit Award, taking the best British male solo artist prize at the age of 67.

Supermodel Kate Moss wore one of his Ziggy Stardust outfits to collect the prize as Bowie chose to stay at home in New York rather than attend the event. It was his first Brit for 18 years.

He previously won the prize 30 years ago, and the only other win he has notched up during his long career was an honorary title in 1996 for his outstanding contribution to music.
