last photograph of him, taken by his wife on his birthday

You would never believe that was someone 2-3 days from the end.

It's not, if you look on her Instagram account it's a picture taken by photographer Jimmy King assumably as part of the promo for Blackstar. Someone has just done some photoshop wizardry to remove his name and the Blackstar logo. 

(I would post post the original pic here but I don't know how!)

Props for putting Modern Love in their Fuzzy, a neglected classic by the heads who refuse to acknowledge anything after Supercreeps.

Queen Bitch

Modern Love

Soul Love

Ashes to Ashes

I'm really wishing I'd gone to Brixton last night. Still in bits here.

Just played The Laughing Gnome to my 2yr old.  Tried to explain how David wasn't going to make any more songs. Absolutely in bits here.

It's so daft, not as if I've ever met the bloke. Really affected though.

[stuartbert two hats]

Diamond Dogs is my favourite Bowie album... except for Outside.  And Hunky Dory of course. And Ziggy Stardust.

Not forgetting David Bowie (1969), Aladdin Sane, Heroes, Low, Station To Station, Blackstar and The Next Day. And Let's Dance.

It's still impossible place Blackstar properly, but it's certainly up there. Better than The Man Who Saved The World and probably at least a couple of other 70s albums. Goes without saying that it's better than virtually anything since Scary Monsters.

[RossTC]

I cant think of a musician passing that has affected me this much and i'm 27, never got to see him live and will always be gutted about that. But his music, wow just wow.

 

RIP David, enjoy space....again.

[russycarps]

Young Americans

Copy cat. 

ha! 

Out of all of them above, Ziggy is the least interesting to me now. 

Bowie at the Beeb is one of my most listened to Bowie albums. Some of the versions on there for me.

Modern Love > Let's Dance any day of the week.

That monster Nile Rodgers nearly killed his career. Sure, bog standard successful transatlantic "lead with a single" technique but he made Bowie sound like Chic!  Yuck!

Took him nearly 20 years to recover from it.

Bearing in mind how unreliable Facebook can be, I saw someone earlier saying an itv news presenter said Emily Eavis had confirmed Bowie's 2000 performance would be shown at this years' festival. I was watching BBC news rather than itv, so didn't see it. Can anyone confirm or deny? 

we're showing it today:

the 3rd best time I saw him live

I dunno, have they said they will show something? There are a couple more songs than those in the 35 mins floating around, but about half a dozen of the songs seem to have disappeared completely. I have no idea if the complete show even exists. I doubt the entire gig was shown at the time (just a guess though).

seen (but not read entirely) a few things mentioning them showing it at this years festival. i assume it'll be the full thing, which would be great as i've never seen it all, so i'm hoping it'll be the entire thing that was filmed yet (apparently) only partly shown at the time

Do you have any links? Journos can be so lazy, might just be a reference to the campaign on Twitter.
