What the petition asks
We ask our government to honour the passing of a UK legend with a public holiday on the anniversary of his passing, 11th January.
Apparently the God that is Ziggy never wanted a knighthood so let's pay tribute to him by making the anniversary of his passing a bank holiday instead. He was unequivocally one of the most important figures to ever grace the 20th century with his genius. Let's get this to 1 million signitures or more!
