David Bowie Book Fake Exposed

04/30/2012
. (Classic Rock) A blogger who posted a preview of what he thought was a David Bowie book project has held his hands up after realising it was fake.

Bowie fans and leading media outlets got excited when excerpts from the long-awaited work Object were posted online. It's believed to include 100 photographs of items related to the Thin White Duke, along with explanations from the star about what they mean to him. It's thought to have been completed in 2010 but has yet to be published.

On Wednesday a Blogger tagged Bowiemyths posted what seemed to be seven chapters, with photos of a Minimoog synth, a magazine cover, a pair of scissors, Ziggy Stardust boots, a hair dryer, an eye patch and garden gnomes. But while some readers congratulated him on the scoop, others became suspicious that the photos were easily available across the internet.
