Thursday, March 23, 2017 6:24am ET by Pressparty Plans for Bowie memorial scrapped due to lack of fundingPlans to build a memorial to David Bowie in Brixton, London, have been scrapped after the organisers failed to meet their funding target. Fans of the music icon had proposed creating a 30ft-tall red and blue statue, named the ZiggyZa, in the middle of Brixton, South London, where Bowie was born, however, those plans have now been shelved after their campaign failed to raise the £900,000 necessary to build the memorial. Despite this, the group insisted they remain committed to recognising Bowie's career in some way. As previously reported, the crowdfunding effort was aiming to raise a total of £990,000 for a three-storey steel construction of the Aladdin Sane lightning bolt, which could then be built next to Jimmy C’s famous Aladdin Sane mural.
