According to the seller, he obtained it in-person on his flight ticket from Bowie on August 12, 1989, when he met him in the first class on an Australian domestic flight.
Hi there, it is real in my eyes. :-) For the fair price you can contact Andy on www.davidbowieautograph.com because I am not watching pricing right now. It can be 300 pounds but can go for less even for more.
Interesting period for Bowie. Tin Machine had recently completed their first tour, after which the band travelled to Australia, to start work on their second album. I don’t believe I’ve seen an autograph from Australia 1989 before, so this is a nice artefact of that time, IMO.
Indeed, the ticket is not in the best condition and of course not as nice as a signed photo or LP cover. But I like the story behind this item and the price was too attractive to let it go.
