Watch that man! Oh honey, watch that man…
David Bowie was tonight presented with the Outstanding Achievement Award at the
Stella McCartney presented David with the award, which I guess makes them quits for David’s presentation to Stella of the ‘Fashion Designer Of The Year’ award at the VH-1 Vogue Fashion Awards a couple of years back! (10/23/00 NEWS: STELLAR PERFORMANCE FROM DAVID AT VH-1/VOGUE FASHION AWARDS)
Stella also made reference to a very funny popular TV show here in the UK called ‘I’m a Celebrity…Get Me out of Here!’, when she gave David an ‘Aladdin Sane’ T-shirt with the legend: “I’M AN ICON…GET ME OUT OF HERE!”
“Then you howl like a wolf…” DB & wolves by Markus Klinko & Indrani.
Jonathan Ross, who won Radio Personality of the Year, thanked David and James Dean for their inspiration, and David returned the compliment by thanking Jonathan for his inspiration in his own short acceptance speech!
DB finally got to meet Travis too, much to bass player Dougie Payne’s excitement, who is himself a big Bowie fan. We’ll hopefully have some pictures of this meeting, and a few others from the event shortly, but in the meantime I’m sure you’ll enjoy these two shots I’ve posted, which you can find (along with several more of these stunning pictures, which David talks about in the mag) in the latest edition of GQ, on the shelves tomorrow.
GQ has celebrated David’s Outstanding Achievement Award by giving him the front cover, and by publishing a fascinating new interview…all in all, it’s a great issue. Of course, this isn’t the first time that David has graced the front of GQ, you may remember the cover of the magazine exactly two years ago, when David was voted Most Stylish Man of the Year.

As I say, we’ll hopefully post some pictures from tonight over the next couple of days.
