R.I.P Mr David Bowie

Gone at 69. There's a Starman.

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

Unhappy RIP David Bowie

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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
