One of the greats, pushed alot of boundaries and made some wonderful music. My kids LOVE the Labyrinth and can recognise his voice in songs they have never heard before.

C'mon I was gonna report it... you beat me too it!

But yes, this is horrible news..

 

[Straza]

I couldn't really stand his music but I liked him for some odd reason.

Loved him in labyrinth and the prestige

 

[ksmama10]

He was perfect as Tesla in The Prestige.

Man, eff 2016.

First Lemmy and now Bowie???

 

[Grevlin]

RIP Ziggy.

 

[ActionJackson]

I wasn't his number one fan but his life overlapped our own and he left his footprint. I do like a couple of his songs. Space Oddity was probably my favorite:

One of my favorites:

 

[TomArnold]

RIP

Silly as it sounds, my favorite was Drummer Boy with Bing. It was such an incongruous pairing but it really worked.

RIP, DB. Thanks for many hours of entertaining weirdness.

I especially enjoyed him in "The Man Who Fell to Earth".

ETA: I just remembered that one of his eyes is blue and the other brown. I guess he learned how to handle being weird very early in life.

Bet his new album will go through the roof. Fallon was just talking about having him, He had a pre-release copy of the album.

 

[Bronzino]

RIP David Bowie. He played the best Andy Warhol ever in "Basquiat."

Sad day. Didn't know he was sick. Guess he stepped thru the door...

Ground Control to Major Tom
Ground Control to Major Tom
Take your protein pills and put your helmet on
Ground Control to Major Tom (Ten, Nine, Eight, Seven, Six)
Commencing countdown, engines on (Five, Four, Three)
Check ignition and may God's love be with you (Two, One, Liftoff)...

RIP Thin White Duke.

 

[Four Corners]

I hadn't heard he was sick; shocked to see the headline this morning.

Ziggy Stardust almost always finds its way into my CD case when I head out Jeep camping; Suffragette City out under the stars. I've still got to get my hands on The Jean Genie; one of the all time great riffs. So many great tunes; no one like another.

Damn, a whole generation of ground-breaking rockers dropping off...

RIP DB.

It's sad to see so many "rockers" dying recently. I truly enjoy rock music and that includes the quirky yet capable people that produce it, the awesome concerts, the showmanship, the incredible loudness and great sounds. Many of these guys are offshoot of the greatest WW-II generation, empowered with freedom, megawatts of radio and audio amplification and talent. To me, I guess it's just part of growing old when the musicians you listen to, start the great die-off. It's saddening, heart wrenching actually, to see my favorites go, and to ultimately realize that I'm probably next.

 

[EL GATO BLANCO]

damn what a way to start your day. 😞 RIP DB

 

[Andrew Jackson]

I heard it on the radio on my way to the bank this morning.

Sad times.
