A cultural studies professor from Kingston University is to spend a year embodying David Bowie for a social experiment.  

Professor Will Brooker will eat, sleep, dress and engage in the same cultural interests as the pop singer. He has already went as far as depriving himself of sleep, eating a diet of milk and red peppers on weekends, and visiting the same places as David would. Some ch-ch-change hey? 

 

Currently rocking the Ziggy Stardust look (see above), the academic will emulate different stages of the singers life to write a monograph titled 'Forever Stardust'.
