I was lucky to come of age during the 70s when some of the best music and film was ever made. Of all the bands, a few artists stood above due to their unique sound and creativity. David Bowie was one of them. Thanks for the great, great music and RIP.

Oh man... so sad.

Paladia (cable music channel) was just playing Ziggy Stardust two nights ago. I called my kids in to watch with me and I wasn't surprised at all that they dug it. What a rockstar.

RIP indeed.

Just saw this on FB. What a shocker.

I don't think I can add to anything that's been said here - but here's what I always think of first when I think of Bowie:

How many nights I danced to this one:

A little bit of Bowie trivia...

Stevie Ray Vaughn played guitar on Let's Dance. He was only earning something like $400 a week and quit to form his own band.

June Lockhart was/is a huge David Bowie fan.

Bowie's best known song is probably Space Oddity, and this is the best tribute to the song and Bowie himself.

  Didn't know he was even sick. Had other musicians I was into but he definitely was one of the true greats.
  Very sad
  
  Quote,
  "Belgian theatre director Ivo van Hove, who worked with the singer on his Off-Broadway musical Lazarus, explained that Bowie was unable to attend rehearsals due to progression of the disease. He noted that "Bowie was still writing on his deathbed, I saw a man fighting. He fought like a lion and kept working like a lion through it all."
  
  May we all be blessed with such vigor and zeal for Life up until the final moments

  Reading through some of the online tributes and messages, the one by David Baddiel struck home the most. He said: "I'm not just upset by Bowie's death but disorientated: like I've woken up and the world is out of joint. I think I assumed he was immortal."
  
  Yes. The world feels somehow different today.
  
  My fondest ever concert memory remains Bowie in 1972 on the Ziggy tour when he played a small club gig in the suburbs of south London. Magical times.
  
  I always considered Bowie and Mick Ronson to be a partnership as iconic as Jagger and Richards.

  Bowie was also a fine singer and interpreter of material, such as on this song:

  My favorite artist of all time. I am devastated. One of his finest songs ever that you probably never heard was called (and fitting). "My Death" Here it is live, never cut as a recording as far as I know.

This is awful. Thanks for bringing so much joy to our lives, Bowie.

4 people whom I followed have died of cancer in less than a year (public figures and personal friends). Is cancer a bitch, or what? Man.... wtf.

I had cancer in 2003, and the more I witness people dying from it, the more grateful I am to still be with friends and family today.

RIP, all of them.

  Always some bunch of prejudiced, narrow minded A-Hole Zealots out there to try and tarnish what was one of the most talented singer/songwriters and artists ever to grace the planet with his presence.
  
  Ultimately, I have not the slightest interest in how he looked or his sexual orientation. Only his music. I put Bowie next to the Beatles, Elton John and a number of others in producing quality, memorable songs and tunes. A major force and influence on music.

  Good for him.
  
  Although those file past his body in a glass case at a mausoleum tickets I bought on E-Bay were obviously a scam.
  
  He would never want to be associated with Decomposing

When people would say to him something like, "Oh, your birthday is the same as Elvis", my husband would reply, "Yeah...and David Bowie too".

  And a week after Bowie's passing comes the news that Dale Griffin, drummer and founder member of Mott The Hoople has just died, aged 67.
  
  Bowie famously rescued Mott The Hoople from the brink of extinction in 1972 when he gave them one of the songs he'd originally intended to include on the Ziggy Stardust album - All The Young Dudes. Bowie also produced and played on the record - which became a big hit in the UK - and it's clearly a number that would have sounded right at home on the Ziggy LP.
  
  Interestingly, Bowie first offered them the song Suffragette City, but they cheekily turned it down and asked for Drive-In Saturday, which Bowie refused to give up. Instead both parties settled on this Ziggy cast-off.
  
  RIP Dale Griffin.
