Did You Know?

Edit
Trivia Jeff Beck guested on guitar in two songs and was supposed to have been in the film, but asked not to appear in it because he felt his solos and his appearance, looking more like a '60s blues rocker than Bowie and the Spiders' theatrical outfits didn't quite fit the movie. His performances have been added to the film for its 50th anniversary re-release. See more »
