Singer with the alter ego Ziggy Stardust (5)

I believe the answer is:

bowie

(Other definitions for bowie that I've seen before include "Dagger-knife" , "Art rocker David" , "Rock-based chameleon" , "American frontiersman, killed at the Alamo, 1836" , "David --, rock singer/songwriter" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
