He passed away from cancer - he was 69 years old.

All I have to say is that life is stranger than fiction. Hollywood is envious, they wish they could write half of the shit that happens in the world. For better or for worse, things happens for a reason.

What would you say his most recognizable songs are?

This one hit me. What an amazing artist, I have so many great memories built around his music.

Hard to say. He was a chameleon.
Life on Mars, Suffragette City, Heroes, Ashes to Ashes, Queen Bitch, Young Americans.

Nobody in rock history took on as many influences as Bowie. You would guess by his various wardrobe changes alone, that he had a thousand personalities. Whatever music he was writing at the time was a symptom of the changes he was going through. A genius to say the least.

I think the only I really recognize is



which is from zoolander, but I heard it in other spots. Never heard the other songs before but they sound pretty good.

I use the word "great" when I talk about some musicians, but that's not a good enough term to describe David Bowie. His music was fantastic and he was one of the best showmen ever.

His music is already classic. He will never be forgotten.

David Bowie was a lifelong smoker, he got cancer. So yes things do happen for a reason.

Rest in peace David

I read a couple of obituaries. Not one mention about LSD. His psychedelic concerts were more about acid than his bisexuality.

At the time, everyone knew that Ground Control and Major Tom were 2 parts of the mind. For new generations, the widespread drug movement has been written out of history by Republicans and their evil prosecutors. Tell your descendants the true history.

I'm glad he's getting the credit for his work as a taste maker. Bowie is responsible for discovering artists that might have gone by the way side. Lou Reed was working part time as an advertising executive when Bowie have him a second shot. He discovered Stevie Ray Vaughan and Luther Vandross. Artists now name check influences they were told to by their fashion consultants or agents. Bowie liked what other people thought was garbage.
