Michael “Woody” Woodmansey (born 4 February 1950, in Driffield, East Riding of Yorkshire) is an English rock drummer best known for his work in the early 1970s as a member of David Bowie’s core backing ensemble that became known as the Spiders from Mars in conjunction with the release of Bowie’s 1972 LP The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars. With the death of Bowie in January 2016, Woodmansey is the last surviving member of the Ziggy Stardust studio band.
Woodmansey joined Bowie’s backing group The Hype, which later became The Spiders from Mars. He played on Bowie’s albums The Man Who Sold the World (1970), Hunky Dory (1971), The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars (1972) and Aladdin Sane (1973).
Woodmansey was replaced in The Spiders from Mars by Aynsley Dunbar, who played on Bowie’s next album, the 1973 covers album Pin Ups. Woodmansey re-formed The Spiders from Mars for one album, along with bass player Trevor Bolder. This necessitated a change of personnel, with Dave Black on lead guitar because Mick Ronson was unavailable and Pete McDonald supplying lead vocals. Guest keyboardist was Mike Garson, who had been a major part of Bowie’s line-up from the Ziggy Stardust days. Bowie made no contribution to the album which was named The Spiders From Mars.
