30-year-old David Bowie was arrested in 1976 along with Iggy Pop and two other people, for cannabis possession following a concert at the Rochester War Memorial as part of the "Station to Station" tour. A grand jury ultimately dismissed the charges shortly thereafter.
This mugshot, taken during his period known as โThe Thin White Duke,โ eventually became one of the most iconic and widely reproduced images in rock culture, symbolizing both that dark and experimental phase of Bowieโs career and the myth that grew up around him in the 1970s.
