R.I.P Mr David Bowie
 

Gone at 69. There's a Starman.

Just saw that. RIP Ziggy Stardust.

How very sad. He contributed so much to the good times we've had.

I didn't think he was a "Bottle of Jack Daniels" a day sort of guy. It was cancer http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-3393470/David-Bowie-dies-18-month-battle-cancer.html

"...ground control to Major Tom..."

RIP

RIP David Bowie
 

He had just turned 69 on Friday and left us with a final album (Blackstar) on the same day.

The guy re-set the bar for real deal qualifactions. RIP.

:(

A creative genius who left behind an unprecedented body of work - we have lost a legend, who will be dearly missed.

Wonder what happened?

Bowie reunited with 2 other Spiders - guitarist Mick Ronson and bass player Trevor Bolder with drummer Mick Woodmansey now the only remaining member of the band.

Son of a *****!

Guess we are going to have to expect more of this.

RIP

Shocking.
R.I.P., Major Tom.

I was listening to something of his on the radio the other day and thought to myself how timeless the piece was (except that I could hear and understand the lyrics).
Very sad, he was a favorite of mine.

I wasn't a big fan but his contributions to music can't be denied. RIP

a shame. 'let's dance' is one of the greatest tunes to come out of an awful era of music. impressive that pop like that can last.

and we all move up one space....

Well, that sucks. An under-appreciated talent and one of the most prolific artists of all time. I'd wager there's nobody on the planet that has a copy of everything he created.

I think people would be surprised to learn more about him, his work and who he collaborated with. A very creative guy whose shoes will never get filled...

Heck of a thing to wake up to (the news), one of my favorite artists of all time.

RIP

Bye Major Tom.

I was a big fan- a musical genius IMHO. I also thought he was a good actor, at least in his first time out in The Man Who Fell to Earth. Great sci-fi, too. I was working on a job in Chicago for a few days and saw he was the lead in the play "The Elephant Man." I thought he did a great job with that. I was just streaming his new album, too. Haven't even heard half of it yet...

David Jones had to change his name to David Bowie because a cast member of the Monkees had already pre-empted the name. Ironic. Bowie never went to the 'where are they now' file.

Aside from a 5 decade string of hits, he had quite a film career... David Bowie - IMDb

Amazing all around talent. Fantastic charisma. RIP

Good Bye, Major Tom.
My favorite

such a loss to me. I heard this last night and found it tough to sleep. really crushing.

rest in peace ziggy stardust:(

Epic musician and songwriter. I remember in the early 70s he was just too scary for me to appreciate. I was a 14 yr old kid and this guy was singing about cannibalism and infanticide. Aaak! As I got older I came to appreciate all of his work.

Bon voyage David.

"The man drives a Caddy the lady drives a Chrysler....."

"Ziggy played guitar..."

Huge loss. One of my favorites growing up, staying relevant for decades. I love the Berlin era stuff - Berlin was the happening place in Europe in the 70s/80s. I am glad I was able to be there before the wall came down ...

RIP

One of the few artists I am going to miss. Goodbye Major Tom.

I have so much respect for Bowie. How he grew, and how he aged. I wish he'd lived longer, he still had music in him, but I'm grateful for his providing much of the soundtrack for my life.

I also just remembered what he did together with Iggy ...

Ain't that the truth.
RIP Mr. Bowie

that is as cool as hell...

I was never a fan of his music, but I always admired his creativity, persistence and style.

We have lost a talent, I sympathize with his wife who apparently had a most durable and positive relationship with a guy who pretty well set the standard for unusual.

God bless David, Godspeed....
