Bob Loblaw Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 I see David Bowie has just died. Didn't realise he was fighting cancer. Absolutely gutted at that. The word legend gets used far too often but it definitely applied to Bowie. RIP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cosanostra Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 Low, Heroes and Lodger are all great albums.Talented actor too. I just went to an outdoor cinema showing of Labyrinth on Thursday night and I still loved it. The Man Who Fell to Earth was one of my favourite films in my uni days. Mr Lawrence was great too.A great artist with a colossal talent.Probably the most significant death in music since James Brown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beverley Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 I'm genuinely upset by this. Grew up a fan and can't remember a time I never knew his music. I'm really shocked to hear of his passing. As dannie boy posted lazarus, I saw the video for the first time this morning and found it really poignant. Terrific actor, incredible musician, an icon and very interesting man. Loved him in interviews as he always came over as a very warm, funny man. He's inspired so many and this is one of the saddest losses to music I can think of in years RIP Bowie.

Locky Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 Went to TITP with my mum in 2004 when I was 9. (Young age I know but I was a Darkness fan at the time also my mum showed me that you can enjoy a music festival without getting in a state which some of my peers don't realise). Bowie was supposed to headline the main stage I'm sure and was a bit underwhelmed at this. She wasn't a fan at all. Anyway, Bowie pulled out due to illness quite late on. At my age it was water off a ducks back although looking back, I'd have loved to have said I had seen him live. Not a huge fan as such myself either but I've a lot of respect for him nonetheless.

Locky Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 Wasn't it The Darkness that took his slot? Yeah they closed the night on the main stage in the end. I always remember because Muse headlined the NME stage and my mum was a huge Muse fan, but she made sure I got to see the Darkness. Looking back I wish she'd been more selfish and took me to see Muse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

269miles Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 Aladdin Sane, Ziggy Stardust , The Man WHo Sold The World, Diamond Dogs & Hunky Dory. The best albums I bought in the 70s. Truly one of the greats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamhammer Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 Been a fan pretty much since I started listening to music. My mates older brother used to let us listen to his early albums. I started buying late 70's with Low and Heroes. Didn't always get where he was going, (Let's Dance, Tin Machine), but never boring. The Next Day was my favourite album last year, a real return to form and I was looking forward to getting Blackstar next weekend. Sad loss.

Hartleys_Jam_Tart Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 Absolutely terrible news to wake up to.

Genuine tears on the bus this morning. I feel so sad. RIP David Bowie x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
