Trainspotting Author Irvine Welsh On Why He Turned Down Meeting David Bowie | Fashion Radio S02 E15

If you’re familiar with the generational-defining novel turned film Trainspotting, it’s not so presumptuous to assume you also know the literary icon behind it all: Irvine Welsh. In this special episode of Fashion Radio, he defends his rationale behind never wanting to meet Bowie (despite being asked by the musician himself not once but twice) and why Roxy Music will always have a special place in his heart.
