Very sad to hear this news, I am really upset. Died from cancer.

Re: RIP David Bowie

What shocking news. An idol of mine. His run of albums in the 70s is as good as anything any artist has ever produced. Truly sad.

Re: RIP David Bowie

As those who frequent the music board would've read, I've really gotten into Bowie the last year or so. I've been doing so much reading and I thought he was literally indestructible. Only yesterday I was listening to the archipelago track of him and Freddie Mercury belting their duet without the music. They both sounded amazing. This fella changed music forever, I hope for much adoration for an icon and not crappy Vox pops. This has absolutely floored me.

Re: RIP David Bowie

Aside from being a great artist, he also did a great deal for many people. I recently read an Iggy Pop biography, it is no exaggeration to say Bowie saved his life by picking him up again and again, even after Iggy repeatedly let him down. Although the book was on Iggy, you finished with way more admiration for Bowie than anyone else.

Just gutted hearing the news today.

This popped up on my Facebook feed tonight which made me smile.

"If you're ever sad, just remember the world is 4.543 billion years old and you somehow managed to exist at the same time time as David Bowie"

Re: RIP David Bowie

What a gut punch.

I still held hopes of one day seeing him live, even if it meant flying to Europe.

I heard an interview snippet tonight where he said that all he ever wanted to do was live within the music and help move it forward. There's no doubt he succeeded.

Vale Ziggy, Thin White Duke, Mr Jones, David Bowie.

I'm very sad. He was a real hero of mine (pun intended)

Saw him on his first tour of Australia in 1978.

Awesome concert, opened up with Station to Station.

Saw him on the later Let's dance tour.

I saw him on the Lets Dance tour as well. At Kooyong I think.

Here's how the 1978 concert I saw started.

Go full screen, full volume and turn out your lights, the train is coming

Re: RIP David Bowie

Wasn't a huge fan, but he did some good work, and was very talented. RIP.

Re: RIP David Bowie

Loved David Bowie. Seeing him live in Sydney in 2003 is a highlight of my life. He was simply brilliant, and especially given his age at the time, but of course that is to be expected of a genius of Bowie's calibre, they simply don't age.

I was listening to Under Pressure this morning and a massive wave of sadness overtook me to think that we've now lost them both, Mercury and Bowie. Add Jackson and Johnny Cash and I'm very much looking forward to the afterlife if just for the tunes.
