As a 10 year old I remember hearing 'Life on Mars' on my Gran's old radio. From that day on I became enthralled by Bowie and grew up with him throughout the decades. The Starman leaves behind one fantastic body of work and an everlasting legacy on music and style.

OH MY GOD OH MY GOD OH MY GOD NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!

How did that happen so quickly?!!!! I'm crushed. This is the most awful thing I've ever heard!

So he was sick this whole time?!! I can't speak.

Yes, shocking news.

THANKS DAVID FOR YOUR LIFE AND MUSIC !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
REST IN PEACE. YOU AND YOUR MUSIC HAVE MADE MY LIFE EASIER AND MORE BEAUTIFUL

Terribly sad news....Another hero gone

Rest in peace. God bless you.

What a drag it is gettin' old

NOOOOOO!!!!!!
this really, really makes me sad. what a bitg loss!
thank you for the music, for everything!

Very sad. First Lemmy, then David. Both so suddenly. RIP.
Thanks a mikllion for all the music - it will stay!

This is devastating. I'm heartbroken; what a shock.

One of the greatest ever

Wow, lots of memories come flooding in right now, all I can say is thank you for being a part of my life.........

I'm devastated. I know the next time I listen to Blackstar will beyond emotional. It's like he willed himself to keep going until the release date. It was all in there - he told us but we didn't realise. What a stunning way to leave us.

Thank you, David. Thank you for everything.

I saw him multiple times in the Ziggy Stardust/Aladdin Sane days, less often since, but it seemed he would always be there. Yet he left us now with such quiet dignity, leaving behind a masterpiece of an album, that we have that as some small consolation for his loss.

David Brighton is about to become fabulously wealthy.

Rest in peace, David.

Wow..such terrible news. I knew of his heart trouble but didn't expect anything else. He was a musician, a rocker, a innovator, a song writer and a actor. He
did all very well. This is such a huge loss. My sympathy to his family, and all
who knew David. Rest in Peace my friend thanks for all you have given us.

very sad !!!
Thank you, David.

What a dignified exit from a great man. There were no press releases, just a man who got on with the business of creating a great album in *, possibly in the knowledge that he was dying.

From 1.Outside onwards, Bowie released album after album of great stuff, that I hope now will be reappraised. I, for one, have been having Slip Away on constant rotation from Heathen; what a great late period track !

I will be objective, almost controversial, and say that I didn't much like Ziggy era: the vocals were too histrionic, but love Hunky Dory, Man Who Sold The World, and then Diamond Dogs onwards. While Tonight and Never Let Me Down didn't bother me, Tin Machine first album had some good stuff, i.e I Can't Read. However, he was truly a great.

Just bought his Blackstar CD today without knowing about his passing away... Weird timing. Such a sad news.

Very sad news today!
R.I.P. David
Your music is part of my life

Saw him live in the '80's, '90's and '00's. Ahoy 2003 FOS was one of my best concert experiences ever. A true genius of pop and I think a great man too. RIP. I feel old suddenly.

"Shit!... No shit, awright!"

What terrible sad news on a Monday morning
gutted.

RIP David Bowie

Very Sad, I can't believe it !!

RIP Mr David Jones.

Though I'm past one hundred thousand miles
I'm feeling very still
And I think my spaceship knows which way to go
Tell my wife I love her very much, she knows
Ground Control to Major Tom
Your circuit's dead, there's something wrong
Can you hear me, Major Tom ?

Gutted! one of my all time favorite artists. Visionary,Genius,Legend are just a few words to describe this man.

You will never be forgotten!

Lemmy died 4 days after his 70 birthday,Bowie 2 days after 69 birthday...next is 1 day after 68 birthday..

Sad News.I had no idea he had cancer.

R.I.P.

Ohhh this hurts

Love and light to David - love and light, and thanks and praises

Lost for words and in tears...

RIP.

I've seen David Bowie on the Sound & Vision Tour in a good concert in 1990 and also in a good show with his band Tin Machine in 1991.

He was truly one of the best and most talentest musicans, who ever lived on Earth.

RIP David Bowie

Absolutely stunned and at a loss words... His music has been such a bright light in my life. What an immensely brilliant, unique and beautiful shining star he was. May he rest in peace. My thoughts and prayers are with his family, friends and fans.
