SPACEBOY – FRANK SCHÄTZING
They never met, but superstar David Bowie had an immeasurable impact on a boy from Cologne. It’s 1969 and FRANK SCHÄTZING is 12 years old, an introverted and sheltered only child, when Bowie’s music strikes his life like lightning. A new, long-haired music teacher puts on a record: “Space Oddity”. And it changes everything. It is the beginning of a fascinating journey that awakens dormant talents. Shyness gives way to creative productivity. Failure leads to new motivation. David Bowie becomes a source of inspiration for Frank Schätzing’s own creative path – as an illustrator, musician and performer, and as the author of world-famous thrillers and popular non-fiction books. An inspiring success story – amusing, very personal and refreshingly optimistic. Host: SABINE HEINRICH
