Im suprised didnt know he had cancer. |

No, he knew he had cancer. Rip David. |

Very sad. Perhaps the greatest artist that were still alive, and we had to lose him... Terrible!!! "Black Tie White Noise" is probably my favorite CD. The title track with Al B. Sure! is a great jam and "Don't Let me Down and Down" shows his range. For some reason, I was actually more impacted by his 90's material than his 70's. "Real Cool World" is one of my favorite songs from his 90's catalog, that tune is "Pop perfection". I hope he gets the attention that he deserves now - Celebrated as a true genius that is - Nothing less. |

Very sad news. He was definitely one of the brightest lights in modern music. I am glad that he managed to keep this private and not be preyed on by the press. |
| Holly2003 11.01.2016 03:53 |
Sad news indeed. I've always wondered if the cover of Queen's début album was influenced by the artwork of Bowie's (rather awesome) LP, Hunky Dory (1971). |
| stevelondon20 11.01.2016 08:00 |
RIP Dave. A legend. |
| Sebastian 11.01.2016 08:05 |
I cannot believe it. Awful, awful news. What a horrible way to kick off the week. Considering I never met him and I was never a massive fan and I still feel quite bad, I cannot even begin to imagine what his loyal audience and his friends are going through at the moment. |

Waking up this morning to this news was just like waking up to the news about Freddie on a monday morning all those years ago. What a great talent who, even after all these years, could still produce music that was just that bit different to what is current without sounding tired and formulated. A great loss |

Thanks for leaving Blackstar for us before leaving, David. I'm still surprised and a little sad :( |
| Marknow 11.01.2016 11:37 |
Legend. |

God bless you David. Rock in heaven mate. |

It's being treated in Britain like the death of a member of the royal family, and rightly so. One of the things about his music is how fresh it all sounds. Early 1970s records sound like they could've been recorded yesterday. His early '70s output was amazing, Listen again to Space Oddity, a deceptively simple song, but there's so much going on there. It's really depressing being in my late forties because so many of my musical heroes are passing away ... Here's the full Hunky Dory album for any Qzoners who think music starts and ends with Queen. link |

Very sad. Great artist and actor. RIP David Bowie. |

David Bowie RIP :( The only person who had enough balls to put a hand on Bri's RedSpecial Fretboard while Bri still was playing. Simply suggesting him to choose different chords :) Oh Boy, if black looks could kill :) He also told Roger that he's playing a wrong beat for UP...according to Mack, Rog's head went red immediately... |

But indeed, it's amazing to see how highly he was respected, by people in such a wide variety of genres of music. It's really depressing being in my late forties because so many of my musical heroes are passing away ...Hard to imagine, in 20 years they'll almost all be gone. |
| badboybez 11.01.2016 15:12 |
Thinking who is left that we class as a 'rock star' after the last couple of weeks with Lemmy And Bowie going. Suppose it's the likes of Robert Plant, Daltrey, Iggy maybe? |
| Sebastian 11.01.2016 15:26 |
Poor Roger, he's just lost his biggest hero and a very close friend. Other than the death of Freddie and his (Rog's) family members, I imagine this is the very worst day of his life. |

I really hope there will be a tribute concert at Wembley on par with the send off Freddie had, lord knows DB deserves one. I'll be there if it happens. Have watched "Lazarus" a few times today It's his Days Of Our Lives, quite beautiful, brilliant and sad. |

The Real Wizard wrote: Hard to imagine, in 20 years they'll almost all be gone.Indeed. This feels like the beginning of it - many musicians of the 60s and 70s have died, but Bowie is the first to really feel close to home for me. I wasn't alive for Freddie's death, and wasn't old enough to register George Harrison's. |

I picked up Blackstar on vinyl the day it came out because it's amazing and beautifully dark. Going to be playing it constantly for a little while; those songs just got so many new layers of meaning. It really sounds like death, especially the title track. |

A true genius. He kept on surprising us until the very end... |
| Jimmy Dean 11.01.2016 22:54 |
couldn't believe it when i saw it this morning... really could not. i initially thought it was a hoax started by him - as a publicity stunt... i thought Lazarus was the setup for the greatest tour ever... fuck was i wrong. i was in such an optimistic mood on Friday - a great Bowie album that I listened to first chance i got to at the office - listened to it 5 times that day... at least he got to wrap things up the way he wanted to. and definitely ended it on a high note. rip starman. |

^The only "good" thing about some cancers are that they give you time to plan your passing and to say goodbye properly. |

So, either the late great David was used to doing that to quite a few people, or Mack was misremembering ...again!, or Brian was misremembering ... again! All three options are quite likely. |
| splicksplack 12.01.2016 07:16 |
I have a feeling Mr Bowie will surprise us again. I bet he's got some material stored away for release when the death shock has abated. Something happy and life affirming. Well, I hope so. |

One of Elvis Presley's first post army movies (Flaming Star) was originally to be called Black Star because, according to the plot and I'm guessing folklore) when Native Americans are about to die they see a black star calling them. I wonder if the name of Bowie's album was influenced by this? The folklore as opposed to Elvis's movie.Pretty cool if it was. |

And I just read that "black star" is the name for a certain type of cancer... I wouldn't be surprised if Bowie had been aware of those meanings when he chose the title of his album... link |
