David Bowie may no longer be with us, but it's clear that his memory and legacy will live on forever. But just in case, the people of Friars Aylesbury, England, want to build something to make sure this continues, and in order for the townspeople to have a statue standing in Aylesbury Square Market, they need some funds.

So organizers for the tribute have set up a Kickstarter campaign to raise a minimum of £26,420 or about $30,000 to put this up in their town.

Why Friars Aylesbury? Well, according to the Kickstarter page, "Bowie played an experimental gig at the Friars club in Aylesbury in September 1971 to see if he could cut it playing live. We were aware of his The Man Who Sold the World album and the 'Space Oddity' single which had been a hit two years before. He needn’t have worried. Not only did he go down a storm that night, but he gave us the world debut of Hunky Dory which at that time had not been released. After the gig, in the Friars dressing room, he said to Woody Woodmansey, Mick Ronson and Trevor Bolder 'This was great tonight. Let's form a band and go out and do it properly.' Four months later he played Friars Aylesbury for the second time. In the interim period Hunky Dory had been released and immediately went to No 1 in the local Aylesbury album chart. So on 29 January 1972 we were very excited about seeing him play Hunky Dory. He did play a few songs from that album but the majority of the set was a completely stunning new suite of songs which turned out to be the Ziggy Stardust album. So, Aylesbury was the place that one of the greatest stars of the modern era chose to perform the world debut of both Hunky Dory and Ziggy Stardust."
