Often used as a closing song for the Ziggy and Aladdin Sane tours, Rock ‘N’ Roll Suicide is not only the thematic death of Ziggy Stardust on the album, but the real life end to the character as portrayed by Bowie. The only member of the band to know David was going to do this was Mick Ronson. The song, in the context of the album depicts the final fall of Ziggy Stardust – the washed up superstar as the crushing weight of stardom and the rock n roll lifestyle (highlighted in Suffragette City the preceding song) takes its toll. However on its own the song tells another story.

Rock 'n' Roll Suicide" is a song by David Bowie, originally released as the closing track on the album The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars on 16 June 1972. It detailed Ziggy's final collapse as an old, washed-up rock star and, as such, was also the closing number of the Ziggy Stardust live show. In April 1974 RCA issued it as a single.

Rock 'N' Roll Suicide (оригинал David Bowie). Рок-н-ролльная самоубийца (перевод NK6 из Nsk). Time takes a cigarette, puts it in your mouth. Ты проходишь мимо кафе, но не ешь, ведь ты жила слишком долго. Oh, no, no, no, you're a rock 'n' roll suicide. О, нет, нет, нет, ты рок-н-ролльная самоубийца. Chev brakes are snarling as you stumble across the road.

This dramatic and unusual song blends a variety of styles, which Bowie explained in his 2003 interview with Performing Songwriter: "What I enjoyed was being able to hybridize these different kinds of music somewhat. There was a sense of French chanson in there. It wasn't obviously a '50s pastiche, even though it had that rhythm that said total '50s.
