“When Mott split did Overend give Bowie a call because he'd worked for him before? Actually, I think Pete [Overend Watts] rang looking for a job with David and David said “But you're in Mott” and Pete said we'd split up. David said “No, No, No” and the rest is history. Yes, I'd say Pete was the most enthusiastic “glam” member. He's still very aware of stuff like “looks” and “image.”
