Couldn't agree more KIO. I this "superstar" era he was top of the tree. RIP David Bowie.
Sad, awful news. The guy was rightly revered as a musician, actor and songwriter.
I still class 1971's 'Hunky Dory' among my favourite albums of all time

My first Bowie album and IMO one of his very best

Never really been a fan of his music, but I know how idolised he was, and what he meant to so many people. Also the fact he was so original and different. Very sad to hear this, this morning.

Oh feck - one of my rock 'n' suicide heroes (see what I did there?)
Only saw him live once, at the Glass Spider Tour at Wembley Stadium in 1986, and he was phenomenal at that time. I did not follow him much after that as he changed his style once again but not in a direction that I liked a great deal.

It's a God-awful small affair
To the girl with the mousy hair
But her mummy is yelling no
And her daddy has told her to go
But her friend is nowhere to be seen
Now she walks through her sunken dream
To the seat with the clearest view
And she's hooked to the silver screen
But the film is a saddening bore
For she's lived it ten times or more
She could spit in the eyes of fools
As they ask her to focus on
Sailors fighting in the dance hall
Oh man look at those cavemen go
It's the freakiest show
Take a look at the lawman
Beating up the wrong guy
Oh man wonder if he'll ever know
He's in the best selling show
Is there life on Mars?
It's on America's tortured brow
That Mickey Mouse has grown up a cow
Now the workers have struck for fame
'Cause Lennon's on sale again
See the mice in their million hordes
From Ibiza to the Norfolk Broads
Rule Britannia is out of bounds
To my mother, my dog, and clowns
But the film is a saddening bore
'Cause I wrote it ten times or more
It's about to be writ again
As I ask you to focus on
Sailors fighting in the dance hall
Oh man look at those cavemen go
It's the freakiest show
Take a look at the lawman
Beating up the wrong guy
Oh man wonder if he'll ever know
He's in the best selling show
A true classic and God's own county is mentioned in despatches

I actually feel incredibly sad on finding this out, almost as bad as when Freddie died. Moved me to tears I tell you, moved me to tears
Loved the early Bowie stuff - first album I brought was Ziggy Stardust which I brought from Woolies in Yarmouth.
The Man who sold the World, Hunky Dory, Ziggy Stardust and Aladdin Sane were all true classics - Pin Ups wasn't bad, Diamond Dogs was ok but then the soul phase of Young Americans etc rather turned me off. His early stuff for me was ground breaking material - so visionary.
Saw "Holy Holy" last year - which was a band formed of Mick "Woody" Woodmansey and Tony Visconti plus guest musicians (including Mick Ronson's daughter Lisa on backing vocals and lead vocals on Lady Stardust) - they played TMWSTW and other Bowie classics and they were excellent - very true to the original versions. With Bowie now gone it means that only Woody is left from the original Spiders from Mars (Bowie, Mick Ronson and Trevor Bolder all now deceased).
Sad day - there is now truly a real "Starman waiting in the sky"...

Wow, I had no idea he played at the Theatre Royal in Naaardge! In 1973.

He did Cromer - my auntie and uncle were regular attenders of the Theatre Royal and as regular patrons could have got me a ticket (so I found out after the event 
).
I did go to the Ralph McTell gig though !!

I do hope you consoled yourself with a visit to see Jimmy Tarbuck and Bobby Crush instead
Lauren Laverne on BBC6 is playing loads of Bowie stuff as a tribute - Fill your Heart was on just now and I must admit to welling up, I adore the Hunky Dory album.

I know what you mean Thai two absolute legends of the Rock music industry and unlike today's 'stars' their music will undoubtedly still be played for many years to come.
