January 11, 201610 yr Yes, quite shocked with the news. Have been listening to Bowie for the last few months. He obviously didn't want the world to know he was fighting Cancer. Just like Freddie Mercury with his disease. RIP Bowie (Ninja'd by Meshugger with the video with Freddie Mercury.} Edited January 11, 201610 yr by Hiro Protagonist
January 11, 201610 yr Author Dammit. He was original. "Things are funny...are comedic, because they mix the real with the absurd." - Buzz Aldrin."P-O-T-A-T-O-E" - Dan Quayle
January 11, 201610 yr Just learned as well, what a shock. In the middle of a comeback too. Hope he's partying on with Freddie now. Fortune favors the bald.
January 11, 201610 yr 2 days after Blackstar released. I haven't had the chance to buy it. I'm going to try and get it in the next day or so.
January 11, 201610 yr Author This is something powerful. Vocals only. "Things are funny...are comedic, because they mix the real with the absurd." - Buzz Aldrin."P-O-T-A-T-O-E" - Dan Quayle
January 11, 201610 yr Just heard it on the radio. Sad news indeed. "While it is true you learn with age, the down side is what you often learn is what a damn fool you were before" Thomas Sowell
January 11, 201610 yr Terrible news. Didn't even know he was ill. And if we're picking things from his oeuvre, this one shouldn't be left unmentioned: Never attribute to malice that which can adequately be explained by incompetence.
January 11, 201610 yr Blackstar arrived two days ago, but I didn't had a chance to listen to it for real yet. Damn, this sucks, but explains why he didn't want to do any shows anymore. "only when you no-life you can exist forever, because what does not live cannot die."

January 11, 201610 yr He made some good late 80's rock too when part of Tin Machine... RIP David Bowie http://youtu.be/ivRtxulMics and a decent live performer too (not the best example, better videos out there)... http://youtu.be/KGRIwlxLgc0 “He who joyfully marches to music in rank and file has already earned my contempt. He has been given a large brain by mistake, since for him the spinal cord would surely suffice.” - Albert Einstein
January 11, 201610 yr I'd had Bowie on the brain for the past week so this is quite a shock, sad news
January 11, 201610 yr RIP. Really sad news. I cannot - yet I must. How do you calculate that? At what point on the graph do "must" and "cannot" meet? Yet I must - but I cannot! ~ Ro-Man
January 11, 201610 yr Man, I listened to his new album recently and now I realise it's only 4 tracks because he didn't finish. Na na na na na na ... greg358 from Darksouls 3 PVP is a CHEATER. That is all.
January 11, 201610 yr 7 tracks, and some very long ones still. Na na na na na na ... greg358 from Darksouls 3 PVP is a CHEATER. That is all.
January 11, 201610 yr Youtube are getting busy with the DMCA takedowns I see. Feels a bit like crows circiling a corpse but that's the music biz for ya. Na na na na na na ... greg358 from Darksouls 3 PVP is a CHEATER. That is all.
January 11, 201610 yr Just reading the Daily Mail for my dose of xenophobia and paranoia, there's a two page muck raking article about Bowie's sex life, cringe worthy timing. "Wowie, Bowie. Dear old Angie has been quiet for years, but her painfully discreet ex-husband can expect some big ch-ch-changes to his peace of mind henceforth." Edited January 11, 201610 yr by WDeranged
January 11, 201610 yr First thing I heard about when I woke up this morning. Not sure how to feel, kind of a numb shock with him and Lemmy going so close.

January 11, 201610 yr Was fairly ambivalent to his music, shame he didn't win that fight though. 69 is too young to die. Interesting to observe the strong reaction from people, though. Edited January 11, 201610 yr by Malcador Why has elegance found so little following? Elegance has the disadvantage that hard work is needed to achieve it and a good education to appreciate it. - Edsger Wybe Dijkstra
January 11, 201610 yr 69 is the best age to die, but I'm still sad to see him go. This post is not to be enjoyed, discussed, or referenced on company time.
