Heroes live is my favourite track of his and my favourite memory is when he came on at Roker Park and said "Good Evening Newcastle."

We've lost another proper legend.

RIP.

Will never forget him singing the "Chubby Little Loser" song at Ricky Gervais on Extras.

The Flight of the Conchords episode as well.

Brilliant musician. RIP.

Didn't realise his last movie role was The Prestige. Absolutely loved him in it and it couldn't have been cast better. RIP.

Oh yeah, Tesla.

Genuinely feel a bit sick, don't want to go to work but stay home and listen to his early day albums.

Aaah, man. Had no idea. This is a hard one to take.

I know he was private and a bit of a recluse, but to be as big a name as he is and keep a cancer diagnosis secret for 18 months is amazing in this day and age.

RIP to an absolute one off.

Was just saying the same. Staggering really.

f***ing hell! Outstanding musician, RIP

Terribly sad news.

pinkeye · « **Reply #36 on:** Monday 11 January 2016, 08:39:43 AM »

He has been ill for 18 months, I had absolutely no idea...

This is devastating news, musical icon of my generation and an absolute legend!

RIP.

Man,

was his cancer diagnosis secret? I feel like a bad fan, I had no idea. I feel like maybe the news passed me by.

My first reaction was 'wtf when did this happen?' Wasnt sure if i had missed it or not

Very sad loss, so many great songs that i still listen to regularly. RIP

Blackstar really is the perfect bookend to his career.

Lush Vlad · « **Reply #40 on:** Monday 11 January 2016, 08:58:29 AM »

My Mam absolutely loved him. So I kind of grew up hearing a lot of his music.

Not a huge fan of his or anything. But I do like a lot of his songs and have a fair few of his tracks. His sound is instantly recognisable and unlike a lot of stuff I heard as a kid, I could almost always pick out a Bowie song. Even if I wasn't familiar with it.

Pretty unoriginal, but I think Heroes and Space Oddity are my favourites.

RIP to a true great.

One of my most listened to artists. He's near enough the same age as my Dad too. Anyone whose ever tried to play his sheet music can see what a great innovator the world has lost. A lousy start to the week.

Troll · « **Reply #42 on:** Monday 11 January 2016, 09:27:51 AM »

That's two of the most influential rock musicians of all time gone in the last couple of weeks. They're all getting to the age where this is just going to keep happening.

TaylorJ_01 · « **Reply #43 on:** Monday 11 January 2016, 09:35:45 AM »

Amazing that he released a new album on Friday. The timing is eerie. Will be having a listen. My Dad was a huge fan and has a ton of vinyls, must make a point of digging them out and giving them a play.

Sad news, he has some cracking tunes.

Rest in peace.

LiquidAK · « **Reply #46 on:** Monday 11 January 2016, 09:59:54 AM »

This came out of nowhere, seemed like he was just starting a comeback of sorts too. Like MJ all over again. This sucks.

Really out of the blue. RIP to an always truly interesting artist.

RIP. Legend is a term that is thrown around like confetti these days but Bowie is a true legend.
