Mick Rock is photographed next to his 1973 photograph of David Bowie putting on make-up. Mick Rock was official photographer for the 1973 David Bowie tour, and has created some of the most famous rock music images.

Mick Rock has an 'East End' attitude, and looks like a rock star. It's not difficult to imagine him partying for 48 hours non stop with Keith Richard or Iggy Pop. He probably has.
