Very sad, a part of my youth gone.

A colossus of the rock world gone. One of the Giants of my time and earliest music influences.

With your long blonde hair and your eyes of blue
The only thing I ever got from you was sorrow.........

Love that song!!

To Bowie fans, if you haven't seen the movie Merry Christmas Mr Lawrence, then have a watch, some fine acting by a great legend.

Rip David Bowie, one of the best entertainers of our generation. Shocked & saddened by this news, didn't know he was sick. A true legend lost, his legacy immense & timeless. Gone but never forgotten.

Never really got into Bowie

But you certainly knew his songs when you heard them
A true music legend he was
Freddy and him would be singing a duet right about now I reckon

Was gutted to hear about Lemmy.
Motorhead playing non stop at home.
Lemmy was still delivering great albums right to the end.
And then Bowie leaves us too?
Almost unbelievable.
A few Bowie albums found their way to the pile. I think Low is a great album and shows just how talented he really was.
