Bowie was larger than life. A true artist in every sense of the word. As heroes go we was one of the few in my lifetime. Profoundly saddened at his passing and feeling much older today.
I've noticed your Bowie avatars and figured he was a favorite of yours. I share in your sadness.............
There's a big empty place where David Robert Jones used to be in this world.
Did you know that he changed his name because of a Monkee?
Sad to hear today. Another great one lost..Scott, Lemmy, and now Bowie! It's been a sad month for rock music. This was another musician that my husband and I faithfully listened and enjoyed. We didn't get to see him in his Ziggy Stardust era or in the 80s, but we were lucky enough to see him when he toured in the 2004. He's one of those artists we pull when listening to records on our turntable. His sound is even better on vinyl.
"Turn and face the strange
Ch-ch-changes
Oh, look out you rock 'n' rollers
Time may change me, but I can't trace time."
Also, poor Iman! So sorry for the loss of her husband. They were a great couple!

Oh wow. This is just surreal. My thoughts are with my friend, JustFlake, because I know how much she loved this man.
RIP

I understand what you're saying. I think I have only ever felt this depth of loss (of a celebrity) once before and that would be Robin Williams.
David was my first crush, (that lasted for yeeeears) I had (only) his posters on my walls and ceiling, collected everything, watched every movie... dressed like him, filed my eye teeth so they were pointy like hislistened to his music on my turntable by day and every night on my walkman (yeah, I'm old) as I fell to sleep.
My first concert was his 1987 Glass Spider Tour... I can still hear the music now and see his face, first when I threw the black rose at him onto the stage (he smiled and nodded at me!) and second when his limo nearly ran me over after the concert.
I still can't believe he is gone... I loved this man, his singing (& speaking) voice, his song writing, his music, his acting... and he was a very nice guy too, off stage.
You will be sooooo missed David Bowie, I am so sorry to see you go.R.I. P my old friend. ♥

Music began and ended for me with David Bowie. All my favorite groups and singers would not have had a career if it were not for him. A most talented and true Renaissance person.
RIP my Starman.

Oh HELL NO! Damn it, I was afraid of this, saw all the Bowie on VH1 this weekend, started to wonder. Don't watch much news, so only learning this now.
Sad stuff, kids.

I had no idea that he was battling cancer. It is such an evil thing. And I admit that I was never a huge fan, but his name was always around for my whole life, and it is unreal to hear that such a prolific artist has left us. RIP.
Got in the car this morning with this song just starting.
Sad day.
Sad day.
I saw the news last night on a Twitter feed. I thought it was a rumor. Wish it had been. It was tough to get to sleep last night. Ziggy Stardust is one of the best albums ever made, IMO.
I hate cancer so very much. Taking Lemmy. Now Bowie.
So many talented voices being silenced before their time...

I remember my first exposure to Bowie. I was probably around 11 or 12 since Ziggy Stardust was released in 1972. My aunt used to take me to school and I got in the car one day and she had an eight track of Ziggy Stardust playing and the song playing was the ultra catchy Suffragette City. Every day after that for I don't know how long, I would get in the car and tell my aunt to play that Hey Man song. 
RIP David Bowie, The Most Human Alien Of All

Per King (who was born in the same year as Bowie) on Twitter:
"RIP David Bowie. Great singer, great innovator, great style."

Lapplady, I'm a cynical old twat but that just made me well up.
Not only was David Bowie handsome, brilliant, and a fine musician who made wonderful artistic contributions, but he had excellent taste in choosing Ray Bradbury and Buster Keaton among his great favorites! He is gone too soon and will be sadly missed!
