Shit, when I saw your post before leaving for work, I saw you posted an article from december so I thought "he's just fucking with us with the title". And then I saw Facebook :(
Unfortunately, it is true.
Starman has left Earth.
I am absolutely crushed and heartbroken. I was asleep before the news broke, and woke to this...
I feel honored to have seen him perform, if only once, many moons ago. And I feel honored to have his music in my life.
It's difficult to say anything that isn't already being said on social media. Like you Whirly, I got to see Bowie once - November 2003 at Wembley Arena. A real stand out gig for me, and it turned out that the 03/04 tour was his last, so I feel privileged to have seen him. And oh what a great live voice. Heroes in particular was glorious...and always will be.
The lyrics and video of this track take a whole new sense now :-[
This was his goodbye.

Ground control to Major Tom: we lost a legend.

Such a gifted and talented artist. So incredibly sad. I wish the best for his family.
To say something positive: he can now sing along Under Pressure with Freddy again
We lost a legend. I've been appreciating Heroes to an endless amount in the last couple of days.
