I'll tell you something, it takes some major cajones to approach death this way. What an amazing, generous gift to his fans. He was without peer.
David Bowie's last release, Lazarus, was 'parting gift' for fans in carefully planned finale
The producer of Blackstar confirms David Bowie had planned his poignant final message, and videos and lyrics show how he approached his death

Something happened on the day he died
Spirit rose a metre and stepped aside
Somebody else took his place, and bravely cried
(I’m a blackstar, I’m a blackstar)

+1. Agreed. There's always going to be some great musician RIPs, but some deserve an IORR community sticky thread and I appreciate that this is one. Thanks BV.

You're not kidding! What an utterly extraordinary way to say goodbye to his fans. To listen to him singing his heart out on this new release and imagine what it must have cost him is achingly poignant. And let's not forget that he achieved his lifelong dream of writing a musical since his diagnosis too.

"David was always an inspiration to me and a true original. He was wonderfully shameless in his work. We had so many good times together. He was my friend, I will never forget him."
