Nicolas Cage has shared a poignant memory of a conversation he had with the late David Bowie, in which Bowie offered words of wisdom on the importance of reinventing oneself.
Cage, who has long been a fan of Bowie's work, recalled the conversation in a recent interview, saying it had a profound impact on his own approach to his craft.
'He was talking about how, if you're an artist, you should reinvent yourself every five years or so, or else you're stuck in a rut,' Cage said.
Bowie's advice, which Cage has said has inspired him to take risks and push the boundaries of his own creative work, is a testament to the legendary musician's status as a true original and innovator.
Cage's own career has been marked by a willingness to take on unconventional roles and projects, and he has spoken publicly about the influence of Bowie's music and legacy on his own work.
In the years since Bowie's passing, his music and legacy continue to be celebrated and honoured through various projects and tributes, including the BAFTA-nominated documentary 'David Bowie: The Last Five Years', which is available to stream on Sky Arts and NOW.
