Can't say I was his biggest fan, but he certainly left his mark on the music industry.  RIP Mr Bowie.

Major Tom has gone away and there's nothing more I can say :(
"I must not fear.
    Fear is the mind-killer.
    Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration.
    I will face my fear.
    I will permit it to pass over me and through me.
    And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path.
    Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain."  - Frank Herbert

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.
