Previously stolen by a fan or a time traveling Kanye West, the famous sign from the cover of David Bowie’s Ziggy Stardust album will be displayed as part of an exhibition in London next month. From Bowie’s official facebook page:

Ziggy Stardust – A lost icon unveiled
As the centerpiece of the exhibition, the gallery is proud to unveil publically for the first time in 30 years the original Heddon Street K. West sign from the album’s front cover – probably the single most iconic cover location in British rock history, along with the Abbey Road zebra crossing.”
Rescued by a music industry veteran and finally restored, this is the original sign face seen on the album cover’s famous Brian Ward photograph, with Bowie standing underneath, a pose recreated in the original location by countless fans.
