Fingerbobs Posted January 11, 2016 Report Share Posted January 11, 2016 Rock n Roll has died again. All the best David. Saw him 24 times and each time was soooo much better than anything or anyone else. I'm just glad he passed peacefully with his family and right at the top with a fantastic album. And so it goes.

Frankly Mr Shankly Posted January 11, 2016 Report Share Posted January 11, 2016 Probably the greatest artist that ever lived. Timeless, effortless & awe-inspiring to the end. Above all, he taught me that it was ok to be that weird kid at school in make up that nobody else understood. RIP David & thank you for inspiring the world.

TomViolence Posted January 11, 2016 Report Share Posted January 11, 2016 Not sure what I was expecting when I came into this thread, very sad news indeed. R.I.P. A true icon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Badlands Posted January 11, 2016 Report Share Posted January 11, 2016 The way the DJ announced it on the station I had on in the car was so comically cheesy that I thought it was a wind up at first. Then I saw his official account post it and thought maybe it’s a sick windup. I thought he looked well in those recent videos. People can sometimes elevate the recently deceased when talking about them, but it can be said with utter conviction that there’ll never be another Bowie.

#FreeComTruise Posted January 11, 2016 Report Share Posted January 11, 2016 Just seen Kanye's tweet, not much is thought of him on here, but I think it's one of the most perfect and accurate tributes I've seen. "David Bowie was one of my most important inspirations, so fearless, so creative, he gave us magic for a lifetime." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dentalplan Posted January 11, 2016 Report Share Posted January 11, 2016 Absolutely shocking, and there really wasn't any giveaway considering how his artistry had been recently. Though, in hindsight, I guess a lot of the Blackstar stuff falls into place when you think of from a dying man's point of view. There will truly never be another musician that pushes so many boundaries and inspires so much creation like he did, right up until the end.

FloorFiller Posted January 11, 2016 Report Share Posted January 11, 2016 so weird that i was listening to Backstar yesterday thinking 'this is incredible, i can't believe he released an album this good so late in his career' and now i'm listening to it and tearing up. definitely has a swan song feel to tit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.Tease Posted January 11, 2016 Report Share Posted January 11, 2016 Very sad news- why do people seem to die just after their birthdays? My dad was the same, it seems to happen often. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Winslow Leach Posted January 11, 2016 Report Share Posted January 11, 2016 Why's everyone acting like he's died? I thought he's become an inter-dimensional being of pure energy? Like at the end of 2001. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheffieldlady Posted January 11, 2016 Report Share Posted January 11, 2016 Very saddened by this news and shocked.

russycarps Posted January 11, 2016 Report Share Posted January 11, 2016 I was listening to the reality tour live album when I read the devastating news and all the young dudes was playing. Seems like an appropriate song somehow. Absolutely gutted, but he will be remembered forever in his music. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All deaths are obviously terrible, but ive never felt this level of sadness at a death of somebody I didn't personally know. RIP Starman. Arguably the most important musician of all time. You put how I feel far better than I could. RIP Starman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mungo57 Posted January 11, 2016 Report Share Posted January 11, 2016 terribly sad news. My jaw dropped when they announced it randomly on the news this morning. What a loss for the music biz his passing is. And Blackstar is a great album too. RIP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
