Was just about to post how weird it was for me to be the first to know something like this.

But yeah, very sudden and surprising.

Still, you can say he bloody lived, and then some.

Not massively old either. strawberry float cancer.

RIP David. :(

I can't say I was a fan of his music, but I did like some of his stuff. Might have to watch Labyrinth again!

And like Ad said, strawberry float off cancer..... :evil:

Not Bowie :(

So glad he got to make one last album that had been getting such good reviews and live to see that.

RIP Ziggy

I'm gutted about this more than any other artist who has died recently or who will in the future. I grew up listening to his music.

I fell in love with labyrinth as a child which got me into his music and from then on I hunted out his stuff on cassette.I had this great vhs as well in the early nineties of all his videos through the years which I played repeatedly in my bedroom.Through my teens I carried on buying his music and introducing my mates to his stuff .Still today I listen to Bowie on a regular basis,just gutted by this ,it's not much of a change but I'll listen to some more Bowie today.

I wonder what will happen regarding the music he was making though as he only released a new song and video last month and album just now.I believe he did more .

Awful news :(

After hearing this on the radio this morning, I was genuinely shocked but the above tweet actually moved me to tears. I've never been a massive Bowie fan but his music was a constant throughout my childhood. And it must be impossible to list all the music I really love that has been directly or indirectly influenced by him. Reading around his influence this morning I came across this cover. Sounds like it was a big internet thing a while back but I must have missed it so apologies if its old news. It's even got an interesting story around it too so I'll post a link.

RIP :(

Devastated to hear this :( Grew up listening to his music as my dad was a big fan of his so his music has always been something that's meant a lot to me.

I've been a big fan of Bowie as i said and he had so many great songs in the 70's and 80's but some of his nineties and early 2000's music is still some of my favourite. Heathen is an amazing album and one i highly recommend if you haven't listened to it before. The second song down is from that album.
