Description

Heroes is the fascinating story of David Bowie's years in Berlin, where he worked in the late '70s on his 'Berlin Triptych' - the albums Low, Heroes and Lodger - which are among the most critically acclaimed and innovative albums of the late twentieth century. Devastated by drug addiction and tortured by delusions, persecution mania and visions of the Nazis, the capital of Bowie's childhood dreams, Berlin, was where he slowly repaired his body and mind.
