And now Pat, who made a living out of taking pictures of pop stars, is selling the rare pictures.

The snapper rose to fame in the 90s, capturing some of world's biggest stars, and he's chosen a collection of previously unseen images, looking back on his favourite shoots from the past two decades, to sell.

The pictures, which are going on sale at Hampstead's Zebra One Gallery in London, include two rare David Bowie portraits and an extraordinary image of him in his Indian stage outfit ahead of his Amnesty International show.

He invited Pat to shoot him on stage but the photographer's admitted he had to pretend to take shots as his film had run out.

The collection also features Pat's hero Lou Reed, an iconic shot of Morrissey who he "drove in (his) cigarette and fast-food festooned car" to the shoot - much to his embarrassment - and an intimate hotel room portrait of Radiohead.
