WeAreOceans Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 I wonder if Blackstar was his way of saying goodbye? Awful news, 2016 is off to a pretty shitty start. A real loss, but I think people will be listening to his music for a very, very long time. A true giant of humanity. I only wish I could have even a millionth of his fearlessness and creativity.

beerwolf Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 fuck, should have bought some david bowie stock before. a new critically acclaimed album and now an unexpected death right after the release will do wonders for bowie related sales. real sad about it now. ahh I see your from Israel lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bitroast Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 I wonder if Blackstar was his way of saying goodbye? https://www.facebook.com/tony.visconti1/posts/10208522003550232 Tony Visconti He always did what he wanted to do. And he wanted to do it his way and he wanted to do it the best way. His death was no different from his life - a work of Art. He made Blackstar for us, his parting gift. I knew for a year this was the way it would be. I wasn't, however, prepared for it. He was an extraordinary man, full of love and life. He will always be with us. For now, it is appropriate to cry.

Guest Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 Normally I shrug when celebs die, but this one has hit me hard rip david. thank you for showing me the light same - I don't even know much of his music but he's one of the few people who can convince a total obscurism fanatic to believe in pop. what a life Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joshuatxuk Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 I always had a repulsive need to be something more than human. I felt very puny as a human. I thought, "Fuck that. I want to be a superhuman." He was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caze Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 Terrible news. Shit. Low is one of my all time favourite albums, Hunky Dory and Ziggy Stardust are absolute classics as well. Pretty much love everything up to Lodger, after which I'm not that familiar with them, bar the odd song or two. I got to see you live only once, and it was magical I was at this as well, fantastic performance. Here's one of my favourites of his: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

purlieu Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 Most people announce they're ill and fade away. Bowie releases Blackstar and disappears overnight. True to himself right to the end. This day isn't getting any easier. My favourite, probably: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
