David Bowie RIP

He leaves such a legacy

Oh what a loss Loved his music ever since I heard the first strains of "ground control to Major Tom" and all the alter egos and reinventions what a breadth of work he produced. He was right up there with the greats and always at the cutting edge. RIP David

I was fortunate enough to see Ziggy Stardust in concert many years ago, A true highlight of my life.
I was surprised to find a tear rolling down my cheek on hearing the news.
He was an iconic talented man, R.I.P.

A trailblazer! In terms of his music, performance and way of life.

Should we be copy and pasting our comments our comments onto both of these threads?

(phoenix (one of our working girls)) started the other one at 7.46 btw)

When I think of those long hot summers growing up, I think of David Bowie - such a magical man and musician. Makes me feel very sad to read that he has gone. RIP Starman.

Is "working girls" exactly the phrase you intended jingl?

The end of yet another era - so sad

Ed Stewart, now David Bowie - it is indeed the end of another era. Ground control can't contact Major Tom anymore and I'm saddened.

I always thought of him as young, though we were roughly contemporaries. We shall not see his like again.

What sad news. A clever musician and a talented showman. So individual. Part of many of our "wild days". RIP David. Bless you.

Love David Bowie. His appeal stretches across the generations. My DD and DGD will be equally sad to hear of his death. Thoughts go out to his family at this sad time. RIP David.

Too too sad. The soundtrack to one's life for so many people.

Woke to this very sad news and thought I'd heard it wrong. Couldn't believe it especially as his latest album only came out on his birthday last Friday. From what I hear this album charts his feelings about dying. A great artist and part of all our lives.

Such sad news he was the soundtrack to my teenage years ?

Alea

Such a shock to hear this sad news today. But respect to him for keeping his illness private for 18 months, and arranging to leave one last album for his fans. That is how to do it, the current trend of talentless reality "celebrities" should take note.

How sad - grew up with David Bowie music. Great singer, great star and he will be sadly missed. RIP David

Can't believe I'm reading this; shocked me to the core . RIP

Look at Bowie and Jagger Let's Dance - iconic

I am in pieces.I have been a fan since I was twelve. I am not twelve any more. I am crying like I am twelve though.
I have seen him live, I went to see David Bowie IS in V and A in London, a huge chunk of my life has gone.
RIP xxx

Ziggy Stardust gone , He'll be remembered always , He will truly be the Prettiest Star in the Universe,

Labyrinth! Daughter and I both go corr! when we see him in this film.
Born on same date as my brother, same year as my husband and came from where we lived when first married 40 years ago, Brixton. He will be missed.
