        https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Thin_White_Duke

        The Thin White Duke was the persona and character adopted by the English musician David Bowie for public appearances in the mid-1970s.

        […]

        The Thin White Duke became a controversial figure due to ostensibly pro-fascist statements made by Bowie in press interviews during this period. Soon after making the comments, Bowie claimed that they were “theatrical” remarks made in character and did not reflect his actual views.
