David Bowie and His Special Relation with Cyprus

du-708_2“Cyprus is my island / When the going’s rough / I would love to find you / Somewhere in a place like that,” says a lyric from David Bowie’s song “Move on” that was released in 1979.
It is not widely known that the great musician’s first wife, Angie Bowie, was born Mary Angela Barnett in a suburb of Nicosia in Cyprus.
The couple met at college in England and married in 1970. A year later, their son Duncan was born. The Bowie family visited Cyprus often on their vacations.
Angie made David love the island, and as the song he wrote indicates, there were times he found a haven there, away from the ruckus of the music business.
Angie and her son continued to holiday there after the divorce with David in 1980.
