A 30-foot lightning bolt paying tribute to David Bowie is being planned for the late genius’s hometown of Brixton.
It all hinges on a crowdfunding effort by locals, as the BBC reports. The plan is for the massive mural to stand opposite the train station, making it “the first thing most visitors to Brixton would see when completed.”
Local council leader Lib Peck said to the BBC, “Brixton has become central to David Bowie’s huge legacy, so what better place for this stunning and imaginative memorial to this locally born legend?”
Of course, it is far from a sure thing with $1.2 million being the asking price at the crowdfunding page. Still, it would be quite a sight, and possibly dangerous – judging by the artist’s impression, above.
