I saw this quote on face ache and the thought cheered me up just a little bit.

Gnomicide Posted January 11, 2016 Report Share Posted January 11, 2016 Some lovely tributes on here. I guess he was one of those artists (and there aren't many of them) that produced such vastly differing styles of music over that years that there probably is something for everyone. He has such a varied and vast back catalogue that it can almost be intimidating. Even as someone who is not a huge fan, this hits quite hard. A sad loss to music.

The Nal Posted January 11, 2016 Report Share Posted January 11, 2016 (edited) Looking back now, there was never a chance that he was going to tour after his initial heart attack. Hes was very very ill for over a decade and we should feel incredibly lucky that he made two albums in that time. 6 heart attacks, cancer etc. Yet he kept going. The whole "death as art" thing with the new album has fried my brain this morning however. A few good glugs of olive oil, gas turned up to 5 and my then my brain, sucked out through my eye sockets, nostrils and mouth and unceremoniously dumped onto the pan and seared like a motherfucker. Edit - just had to edit the 2nd line from "hes been very very ill" to "he was very very ill". Edited January 11, 2016 by The Nal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

onthebeach Posted January 11, 2016 Report Share Posted January 11, 2016 Devastated. Never before felt this way about someone dying I didn't personally know. Maybe it is because he has been a part of my life since when I bunked off school to catch a bus to Doncaster to see the Ziggy Stardust tour. He amazed and moved me then and. continued to do so. I am not sure whether anyone else noticed or if it does mean anything, but I like to think it does. When I first viewed the video for Blackstar I saw at the beginning on the space suit is a badge of the smiley face logo, a nod to the story in the film 'Moon' by his son Duncan? A message to us or am I over thinking this? My delivery of Blackstar arrived earlier today so I will be listening and learning with sadness - so like David to keep his illness such a secret and release a new album within days of his dying. RIP - my hero Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onthebeach Posted January 11, 2016 Report Share Posted January 11, 2016 And such integrity - turned down a knighthood Bowie explained his decision saying, “I would never have any intention of accepting anything like that. I seriously don’t know what it’s for. It’s not what I spent my life working for.” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel bitterly angry that I won't be doing all this for the rest of eternity. Rage, that's what you get more than anything else. You get a bit angry, because it's good down here.

More than any other gig in history in a way. At least the other big gigs in history I've missed were before I was born or when I was a kid, or saw them when they were older. Seconded. I did see him in 2002 and for that I will always be grateful. But watching that performance at Glastonbury always makes me ache to be there. It was something else.

Chimps in Balaclavas Posted January 11, 2016 Report Share Posted January 11, 2016 R.I.P. David Bowie. My only music regret was missing him in 2000 because I had to leave early. Sad we will never see him perform again. A true rock icon and a giant amongst men. A hero. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
When Jokers Attack Posted January 11, 2016 Report Share Posted January 11, 2016 Awful news to wake up to, like with everyone else it didn't feel real. very sad stuff. Have been listening to Blackstar more than any other album the last week and love it, will be playing lots of Bowie today I think. one of the best.

ads1980 Posted January 11, 2016 Report Share Posted January 11, 2016 What a genius he was. I never knew he was ill and always hoped he would make one last appearance at worthy farm so I could witness his true grace. A massive inspiration to many and the biggest and best musician to have lived in my opinion. What a loss. I'm gutted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
