David Bowie has died

shysal, apparently they told Angie the news off camera but she is staying in. She has not spoken to her son or his father for many years and is just flaunting the name.

Put On Your Red Shoes And Dance The Blues what a legend !!!!! RIP David Bowie

What a talented, innovative musician, and man. I greatly admired him.

All those great songs are running through my head this morning.

I was unaware he was suffering from cancer.

Certainly one of the greats of the music industry.

My first thoughts were, Oh no. Not another one!

RIP David Bowie. Is there life on Mars?

Two music legends. Both gone too soon Pittcity and Liz46

What a shock. The songs are playing in my head.
Taking the Dgc to school it came on the radio and I was singing (if you can call my voice as singing) some of his songs.

RIP Bowey

It is good that he managed to complete his new album and to read the excellent reviews before he died.

David Bowie and Freddie Mercury were great together.

Interesting that The Archbishop of Canterbury, David Cameron and Jeremy Corbyn were amongst others paying tribute to him on the Today Programme.

Very sad.

Two threads on this, a shock to wake up to this news. One of this country's great talents. RIP Gene Genius so many of his songs floating around in my head at the moment

What a showman! David Bowie will always remind me of the Ship and Castle on Whale Island. Rest easy Starman.

Very unexpected.

Suzied yes I went to the exhibition at the V&A - it was fantastic, particularly the last huge room with the videos and soundtrack playing all around the walls and everyone treating it as though at a concert!

Such very sad news and so unexpected. I wasn't a particular fan of his, but who didn't love Space Oddity? Wonderful song!
And the stars look very different today...

Have just seen this on FB when I turned my phone on
He had looked ill recently as gillybob says but then he'd always been very lean and unhealthy looking in my opinion.
RIP

I was not a great fan, but very sad news. His ex-wife, Angie, is in Celebrity Big Brother at the moment, I wonder whether she will be told.

Hope he's rocking "Under Pressure " with Freddie Mercury!

I too am shocked to hear of the death of David Bowie. He kept his illness very quiet although he looked ill in his most recent public appearances and his latest video is just plain creepy.

RIP Starman

He was really different, very theatrical. Did anyone go to that V and A exhibition a couple of years ago? It was amazing.

Very sad, but he always gave me the creeps.

Wow, really! And he'd only just released a new album! That is such a shame! So unexpected!

(I didn't like a lot of his stuff - but always found him rather, well - gorgeous!)
