The statue would be modeled after the iconic lightning flash from Duffy’s Aladdin Sane LP cover in red and blue.
There are a bunch of rewards available for donors ranging from t-shirts and pendants featuring the lightning bolt logo, to limited edition prints, to 3D replica of the lightning bolt statue. Anybody who donates at least £20 will have their name featured on the supporter roll of fame on the official David Bowie Memorial website.
