David Bowie’s handwritten lyrics to his 1972 song Starman have sold for more than £200,000 at auction, five times their estimated sale price.
Olivier Varenne, director of acquisitions and alliances and collections at the Museum of Old and New Art (Mona) in Tasmania in Australia, was the winning bidder.
The song featured on his fifth album, 'The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars', which propelled the musician to international rock and pop stardom.
