David Bowie Dead at 69
David Bowie, the legendary singer-songwriter and actor, has died after a long battle with cancer. He was 69.
The artist's Facebook page announced the news, with the singer's rep confirming his death to Rolling Stone. "David Bowie died peacefully today surrounded by his family after a courageous 18-month battle with cancer," the statement read. "While many of you will share in this loss, we ask that you respect the family's privacy during their time of grief." One of the most original and singular voices in rock & roll for nearly five decades, Bowie championed mystery, rebellion and curiosity in his music. Ever unpredictable, the mercurial artist and fashion icon wore many guises throughout his life. Beginning life as a dissident folk-rock spaceman, he would become an androgynous, orange-haired, glam-rock alien (Ziggy Stardust), a well-dressed, blue-eyed funk maestro (the Thin White Duke), a drug-loving art rocker (the Berlin albums), a new-wave hit-maker, a hard rocker, a techno enthusiast and a jazz impressionist. His flair for theatricality won him a legion of fans. http://www.rollingstone.com/music/ne...at-69-20160111 |

Very sad to hear this....unbelievable that he was sick for 18 months and still managed to put out a new album.......he was a true artist that always reinvented himself.

Re: David Bowie Dead at 69
I've been thinking. We who witnessed Elvis, survived the British Invasion, cheered or booed when Dylan went electric, got blown away by Jimi and Janis, saw Cali morph from surfer tunes through SF Summer of Love and LA Lizard King, dropped and dropped out from Woodstock and Altamont . . . we thought we'd seen it all, and could not be surprised again. Tull didn't. Zeppelin didn't. Floyd didn't. But Bowie? He did. Then he did it again. Then, he did it again! And again! That alone is notable.

Great observation.... I would say he had one new song or another that was substantive through most of my life... He will be missed..... |
