Terry ONeill, celebrated photographer, was given unprecedented access to document the event.

ONeill captured Bowie and his crew backstage as they went through costume changes, and Bowie transformed into the character hed soon put to rest.

On stage, dodging television cameras and lights, ONeill snapped the incredible stage presence for which Bowie and his crew had become renowned.

ONeill remembers of Bowie: He became a character on stage.

As much as a person takes a role in a play for the West End or on Broadway, learning the lines, putting on the costumes - this was, I think, the way Bowie treated his stage.

This night at the Marquee, I witnessed a modern-day Hamlet - and it was Ziggy Stardust.
