Some people you fall in love with have something about them. Maybe because of the way they look or act or how they are with you and how they make you feel... Me, I fell in love with the music and the characters and the man of all of this creativity. Aladdin Sane, Ziggy Stardust...

...David Bowie.

He lives in his world of song, fame and daydreams whereas I lived in a small house in London with my parents and brother and me with a small job but a big ambition to be a musician... A pianist.

I was just another fan of Bowie's, one of those fans that dreamed of meeting him. But in reality, and the sad truth is, he'd never know I existed.

"Ros get up," My mother taps on my door.

I open my big brown eyes slowly and see a dull light coming from my window, the clock read 9:32 a.m. "Mum, it's New Year's Day... Why wake me so early...?" I grumble.

"I wouldn't complain young lady, a certain someone is on the radio if you must know!" She calls but her voice was from down the stairs.

"Learn some manors hey Henry? You're 11! Not 7!" My mother shouts at him slapping his head lightly with a tea towel.

"Shh!" I hush them waving my hands frantically.

"So David," the interviewer clears his throat and continues. "you'll be celebrating your 27th birthday in a few days, any plans for it?"

"Not really, I plan a lot of new things for the year though - uh - all surprises though of course." He mutters in his gorgeous British accent, his voice was so unique, nothing I had ever heard before yet I could listen to him all day, talk about absolutely anything - including a catalogue...!

"Oh, David, I must congratulate you on being so brave about being a bisexual!" The interviewer says kind of harshly which makes me frown.

"He likes men!" Henry shouts laughing and I through him a glare.

"Well thank you," David says proudly which makes me smile again. "it's helped me in my career and in my lifestyle, I have all my fans to thank for too, for supporting me and my choices." I then felt proud.

"And you're going to the Netherlands in February is that right?"

"Uh yes, yes I'll be there next month, doing a concert and-"
