They are the same color. He was punched in the eye by friend George Underwood whose finger nail was lodged in David Bowie's eye. As a result his left pupil is permanently dilated giving it the look of a different color.

That's right! In fact I was going to comment that he was punched in the eye but I didn't remember the details, thanks!

<quoted text>Follow me on this for a minute.....the year was 1983, I had won a top sales award from Volvo Cars North America and flew the red eye (overnight flight) from New York city to Goteborg Sweden to accept the award and tour the factory. Morning I arrived in Sweden all I wanted was to check into my room and catch a few hours of zzzz's.
Here comes the azzhole David Bowie part....he had done a concert the night before in Goteborg, had rented the entire floor with which my little room was on, his pack of fools traveling with him had trashed several rooms and yours truly spent most of that long day in the lobby waiting for my little room to be made anew.
29 years later and yet to spend a cent to buy his music.
