The world’s first statue of David Bowie vandalised 48 hours after unveiling Far Out Staff
"We can get that paint off, we will be working on it today", said David Stopp to BBC.
The Bowie fan who commissioned £100,000 through a crowdfunding campaign for the statue named David Stopps explained in an interview that he does "quite a lot for the homeless, which is the irony of the whole thing".
According to Billboard, Marillion lead singer Steve Hogarth, who unveiled the statue, was saddened to hear the news. Such a shame. Hopefully it can be cleaned up and I guess they'll have to resort to CCTV or, worse, some sort of barrier. "It's worth the trip".
It features a likeness of Bowie in 2002 regarding a selection of his alter egos down the years, with Ziggy at the front.

As BBC reports, a group of volunteers have already gathered to clean up the spray paint, with Helen Light, from Aylesbury, saying: "Vandalising it is very bad."Tax payers will now be paying for the clean-up so it is the vandal who will ironically be taking money away from the homeless".
It was only unveiled on Sunday afternoon, but overnight graffiti has been sprayed over the sculpture.
Aylesbury was associated with the star as he debuted his character Ziggy Stardust at the town's Friars Music venue in the early 1970s.
Additional Bowie personas-Aladdin Sane, the Goblin King, Lazarus, and more-are sculpted in relief.
