Wasn't a fan but understood what he meant to the music world. RIP.

Gutted. Absolutely love Bowie. One of the finest artists our country has produced. Will be listening to Bowie all day.

Was never a massive fan but I've come to appreciate his stuff a lot more in the last few years.
Favourite song...has to be Absolute Beginners closely followed by Modern Love.

Star man, Sorrow RIP .

 

[User62651]

Sad news, didn't realise he was that ill. Never a proper fan as such but there are some real classics he's done, Heroes being my favourite.

 

[MegaSteve]

Shown on the Beeb over Xmas so should be still on iplayer..

The rise and fall of Ziggy Stardust and the spiders from Mars..


Watched this with Mum when originally shown [early 70s]...
She, from this, became a huge fan...

RIP

I don't think the influence of this can be over estimated.

A friend and I did a cover of Ziggy Stardust a couple of years ago after far too many beers. Me on dodgy electronic drums, my pal on guitar and vocals (he's the self proclaimed "best heavy metal singer in the Northeast"), it ended up being a sludge metal/prog/pop messed up affair but it was great fun recording it in my living room.
Still stick it on now and again for a giggle.

I murdered Sorrow on the pub Karaoke last Monday.:smirk:

Non stop Bowie on the airwaves today ... I've never quite understood why or how "a legend and ambassador, there's many tributes" fails to get 3 or 4 minutes a month and then when he's dead, he's on!

Wasn't a fan but understood what he meant to the music world. RIP.

That pretty much sums it up for me; not a big fan of his music but understand how he influenced others and that the music of his and subsequent eras was greater for his contribution. RIP.

 

[SwingsitlikeHogan]

Not sure he'd be wanting to RIP actually. Mind you I'm guessing that yet another re-incarnation might be beyond even he - so go get 'em DB - rock on.

 

[Golfmmad]

Such a sad day, not only for his family but the whole music world. Words just can't describe how much of an influence he was to so many.

I've just watched the You tube clip of Live Aid '85 when he did "Heroes" - it certainly bought a few tears to my eyes!

My abiding memory of him was when he did a rare performance on TV, a real treat. He stood alone on an elevated stage wearing a smart grey suit and sung heroes I think, he looked so cool, hardly moving but just had that special "Aura" about him. Will never forget that.

And now is the time to celebrate his life.

Thanks for the memories David.

I was watching TV this morning when it flashed up. I couldn't believe it. One of those Kennedy, Elvis and John Lennon "what were you doing when you heard the news" moments.

So many iconic songs that blew me away as young teenager in Belfast have been flooding back through my memory all day.

Still finding it hard to believe
