Ziggie is based on Ziggy Stardust, a 1970s stage persona of singer and performer David Bowie.
According to wikipedia, "Ziggy is the human manifestation of an alien being who is attempting to
present humanity with a message of hope in the last five years of its
existence. Ziggy Stardust represents the definitive rock star: sexually
promiscuous, wild in drug intake but with a message, ultimately, of
peace and love. He is destroyed both by his own consumptions, and by the
fans he inspired."
David Bowie died from cancer just a couple of days ago on 1-10-16. He was 69 years old.
His spirit lives on through his music, this parody figure, and all the young dudes.
