David Bowies<\/a> st\u00f6rsta klassiker, f\u00f6r evigt sammankopplade av att karakt\u00e4ren Major Tom f\u00f6rekommer i b\u00e5da.<\/p>\nI \u201dSpace Oddity\u201d fr\u00e5n 1969 \u00e5terfinns textrader som:<\/p>\n

Men vem Major Tom var har varit h\u00f6ljt i dunkel fram tills nu. Bland de 90 000 f\u00f6rem\u00e5len i s\u00e5ngarens arkiv har man nu hittat ett synopsis till en planerad film kallad \u201dYoung Americans\u201d som kastar nytt ljus \u00f6ver hans identitet.<\/p>\n
De tv\u00e5 A4-bladen, handskrivna av Bowie som dog i januari 2016, ber\u00e4ttar historien om den \u201dbrittiske jetpiloten major Tom Brough\u201d som \u00e4r involverad i en bluff f\u00f6r att fejka m\u00e5nlandningarna. Bowie skriver bland annat att \u201dground control\u201d, det vill s\u00e4ga kontrollcentralen p\u00e5 marken, \u00e4r \u201dsp\u00e4nda och alerta n\u00e4r Tom kliver ner f\u00f6r sin stege\u201d.<\/p>\n
Den f\u00f6reslagna filmen, som inte har n\u00e5gon koppling till Bowie-albumet med samma namn fr\u00e5n 1975, blev aldrig gjord.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Publicerad 11 sep 2025 kl 02.13 Han \u00e4r en av de mest ikoniska karakt\u00e4rerna i David Bowies digra…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":26965,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[67],"tags":[104,3130,34,31,33,32,30,402,105],"class_list":{"0":"post-26964","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-underhallning","8":"tag-entertainment","9":"tag-person-david-bowie","10":"tag-se","11":"tag-svenska","12":"tag-sverige","13":"tag-sweden","14":"tag-swedish","15":"tag-topic-artister","16":"tag-underhallning"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/se\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/26964","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/se\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/se\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/se\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/se\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=26964"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/se\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/26964\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/se\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/26965"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/se\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=26964"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/se\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=26964"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/se\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=26964"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
