ya-gabor Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 David Bowie has passed away at 69 just two days after his birthday and the release of his new (25th) album. Some fantastic music in all those decades and a really great personality! Rest in piece Gabor Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JackMan Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 Rest In Peace. I'll always remember him from Labyrinth and his fantastic music. It was mesmerizing. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Litvyak Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 "Tell my wife I love her very much!" "She knows... Ground control to Major Tom, your circuit's dead, there's something wrong! Can you hear me, Major Tom? Can you hear me, Major Tom..." Still crying. Devastating. His music has been and always will be important to me. Can't describe it, don't want to, if you understand you understand, but... never met him but I'm gonna miss him. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gordon Shumway Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 Mr. Bowie will be missed. His great music will live on though. 69 and struck down by cancer... RIP Sir. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
worldslaziestbusker Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 His music has been part of the soundtrack of my life for as long as I can remember. The recordings will serve to remind me but I'll miss thinking of him in the present tense as a creative force. Never met him. Never saw him perform live. Loved everything his output brought into my days. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ChippyWho Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 His music has been part of the soundtrack of my life for as long as I can remember. The recordings will serve to remind me but I'll miss thinking of him in the present tense as a creative force. Never met him. Never saw him perform live. Loved everything his output brought into my days. Same here, and couldn't put it better. All through the '70s, '80s and '90s (didn't really get his '60s stuff), he always had something worth listening to, and watching! Hopefully not goodbye, but au revoir!

Exhausted Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 (edited) Major Tom, NOOOO!!!! I can't believe this.... I really liked a lot of Bowie's music. He collaborated with the greats, at ahem different depths... Freddie Mercury, Mick Jagger.. I'm really going to miss David Bowie.

Thommo Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 Can't believe he is gone...... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Litvyak Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 (edited) As a friend just pointed out... we're all remembering him. Our kids know about him, and their kids will learn... so he will live as long as humanity does. I feel privileged to have lived at the same time as he did, that I got to see him, even if in the later stages (when he was no less brilliant than earlier)... but just... yeah.

Crazy Snap Captain Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 (edited) One of those "where were you when..." moments. Such a sad loss. His creativity in all aspects of art will be missed. RIP. Edited January 11, 2016 by Crazy Snap Captain Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SBARC Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 Yup..."Major Tom" was my favorite song by him. He was a creative soul.....very unique and he left a positive mark on humanity......you can't do better than that in life. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Old Blind Dog Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 It's been a very sad day. I am heartbroken at his passing--he was one of the first great artists I heard when I began to explore pop music on my own back in the early 70s--but I am also enriched and enlightened forever by his legacy, and that is a cause for celebration. Also. . . loved his acting. I especially remember his small turn as Nicola Teslas in "The Prestige". Understated yet brilliant! RIP cheers Old Blind Dog Quote Link to post Share on other sites
GreyGhost Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 Rest in Peace, Mister Bowie... Thank you for the great music ... -Gregg Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jinxter13 Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 (edited) Ground control to Major Tom, please come home David's gone....he attracted a whole new following when he did "Fame", it was cool to watch him evolve over the years. Godspeed and RIP David, you will me missed. Gotta drag out my labyrinth DVD and enjoy it all over again. Edited January 12, 2016 by #1 Greywolf Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Aigore Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 Rest in peace, David. I was spoon-fed Bowies music from an early age by my elder brothers and he was a great part of my musical coming of age. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DarkJester Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 Natalie, Lemmy and now David. It always seems like the end of the year and the beginning of the next always brings them home. Is it always in threes or is that just me? Bowie was a musical Magician. He could do it all. Jazz, funk, pop, punk, new wave, rock, metal, name it. Hell, I even saw him sing White Christmas with Bing effing Crosby. I'll miss you Ziggy, because you know, Ziggy Played Guitar.... And Lemmy, was just Lemmy. you got what you came for. Never disappointed. ev-er. Natalie? Didn't know her. didn't listen to her. I understand she was quite talented. Had some problems, but then, don't we all?

Trigger Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 With songs including "Starman," "Space Oddity," "Life on Mars?" and "Hallo Spaceboy," it’s clear the cosmos was a great inspiration to David Bowie. Belgian radio station Studio Brussels and MIRA Public Observatory have come up with a clever and appropriate tribute to Bowie by registering a constellation to honor him, recorded at the time of his death. It is delineated by seven stars that shine in the shape of the iconic lightning bolt seen on the cover of his Aladdin Sane album. stardustforbowie.be Quote Link to post Share on other sites
