Just on BBC news. One of the greats.,
Shocked to see that. Never a big fan of his music, but in terms of art and his influence on many of the bands I loved I will always have huge respect for the man. He was clearly a man of strong principle as well, having turned down honours from the queen (on more than one occasion). RIP - Bowie in space.
Shite. Terrible news.
RIP
How long before Sid gets in with an Ashes to Ashes gag?

Wonder how long it will take before its discovered he was a nonce all along
RIP by the way
RIP Bowie
Didn’t he also have fascist leanings/sympathies? Genuine question.
FFS, shite news. RIP to a true legend.
Whats a nonce?
He got into facist memorabilia and stuff in the 70’s alright. He was doing a lot of drugs around then though.

Yeah. BBC5 live doing a nice tribute to him on the breakfast show this morning. Nicky Campbell is a big fan.

One of the most famous people in history of music. I was never a huge fan of his music apart from a few cracking tunes.
Is there life on Mars?
Ah thats shite news to wake up to. One of the absolute greats. His output was vast, and as a result there was always going to be some ones that missed, but he has some of the absolute all time iconic songs in his back catalogue. I posted a story recently about him on the things I learned today thread about how he gave Mott The Hoople All the Young Dudes after just sitting in the middle of their sitting room and wrote it in an hour. A genius. Amazing he lasted this long to be honest given the drugs he was doing at various stage in his career.
RIP Bowie.

Was listening to him last night. I was doing up a spotify playlist for background bar/dinner music for my wedding and kept sneaking in extra Bowie songs on the sly.
An absolute genius. There are some fantastic documentaries out there - I must dig them up
