RIP, David Bowie.
ugh. NOT what I was expecting when waking up today. RIP Ziggy Stardust.
Oh no... :'( He was one of the few artists that I followed from my teens through to my 50's. He even had an album due out very soon.
Thank you for all the incredible music David. May you now rest easy.

Can't say I was his biggest fan, but he certainly left his mark on the music industry. RIP Mr Bowie.
Ashes to ashes..........
RIP.
Major Tom has gone away and there's nothing more I can say :(

Amen. I had heard a rumour that he was ill, but I thought it must have been bullshit when the new album came out last week.
A sad day.
I'm still surprised at how much this has saddened me. Even in the years when I was less attentive to his work than I should have been, I still thought of him as a constant, bridging the span with collaborations ranging from Iggy Pop and Lou Reed to the Sales Brothers and Trent Reznor.
His latest:
The man was an absolute chameleon who worked with seemingly everyone. Sure, not all of it was good, but most of it was at least interesting.
Hell, he did Christmas duets with Bing Crosby and was still considered cool afterwards. That's pretty goddamn impressive!

Mrs B and I watched the clip of him and Bing singing 'Little Drummer Boy'. Its magical. Not a dry eye in the house.

The original video for Space Oddity from 1969. A more psychedelic version.
