RIP Bowie

Browning X Bolt 2 Cashback
he was never my cup of tea but by god did he do some good for the British music industry and the 80's would never have been the same.

R.I.P DB taken like the others by a monster we still need to respect.

damn sad to hear this...

We can beat them, just for one day
We can be heroes, just for one day

Always loved his music.

It has been noted on most news programs, that unlike many current 'stars' he kept his illness out of the news.

Some current 'superstars' could learn from his example, instead of running to the papers every time they stub their toe!

RIP
 
David Bowie and Elvis Presley shared the same birth date jan 8th. 2 iconic superstars that will never be repeated, but there music will live on for many,many years.
An Elvis fan I wasn't, but Bowie deffo.... Bought the records, the t shirts and see him live.
RIP the great man.
 
Whether you're a Lemmy fan or a Bowie fan, the passing of people that are iconic in your lifetime is worrying. Generally I suppose those whom we idolise as we grow into manhood are perhaps 10 years older than ourselves and as time progresses, we see them fall away and it serves to remind us of our own mortality.

I liked Bowie and his music, although not all of it, but he was that different throughout his career that you couldn't like it all. But he was certainly an innovator. I heard on the radio that he was considered one of the all time music superstars, the only two others being Frank Sinatra and Elvis. Personally I think there were a few more than that. But his contribution to music will stand the test of time for sure.

It saddens me that we don't seem to have such people in the music industry now. I would find it very hard to name any current "stars" that either would be as successful, or would take music in such a different direction. Maybe that's the legacy of today's manufactured stars, or maybe it's just that the 60's and 70's were just an explosion all on their own, music-wise.

RIP David Bowie.

Bowie was played none stop in our sixth form common room in the early seventies and I didn't like it. Years later I love it. RIP
 
I saw him for the first time at the Greens Playhouse 1973 brilliant gig, his sidekick Mick Ronson, a great guitarist also died of cancer, another sad loss to the music. industry. His music will live on, he was unique, a one of who changed the face of music forever and spawned countless would be's. RIP Ziggy.

I worked Long Bar at Wembley Stadium as a student in '87 which is how I came to see Bowies Glass Spider tour.

Wasn't my sort of music at the time but it was a hell of a show and so much of his music is iconic that I ended up really enjoying it.

Undoubtedly another great talent lost. Not seeing his like now in modern jelly mould music.

RIP
