Last month we reported that Members of the Brixton Community and Bowie fans were rallying together to try and get a memorial to Bowie built. The organisers behind the plans have now confirmed that they have failed to raise enough money for the project marking the late music icon. The proposed memorial was to be placed on Stansfield Road in Brixton, which is a stone’s throw away from Bowie’s birthplace, and had been designed in consultation with Bowie’s teams in New York and London. It also had the support of Lambeth Council.
