DAVID BOWIE DEAD AT 69
-
Nancy R:
I was stunned as well. I guess only his family and close friends knew about the cancer. He just turned 69 on the 8th. He was the answer to the "birthday question" on Entertainment Tonight that evening.
I had never known his birthdate until hearing it last night, and just realized that after reading your post now,the coincidence of my oldest and youngest nephews having been born respectively on the 8th and 9th as well.

A couple of years ago when Slash was on the Howard Stern show, he basically let it slip that Bowie was ill. Coupled with the fact that he hadn't toured since the '04 heart attack, I knew that it was serious. Still, this is a shock.

I always thought he'd be so interesting to have a conversation with, he was so artistic, and creative As expected, Macca has shared a warm, loving tribute to David, on the website home page, have y'all read that

I still can't believe it myself. I knew about the heart issue and figured it was semi retirement. I pictured him spending hopefully at least another 15 years or so with his family. I honestly thought it was a dream when I heard the news at 5:30 this morning.

I have been following him on Instagram. So shocked. It was like he was a person who was immortal in my mind. With John: Praying for his family.️

I heard it was liver cancer.

Yes, I read that too.

Have been so sad about David's passing. Reading so much on the Internet. His wife must be so devastated. It did seem as if he was immortal. "Here am I floating round my tin can Far above the Moon Planet Earth is blue... And we really will miss you David Bowie

Debilitating illness can take so long, and take its toll on everyone involved. His battle with cancer was 18 months or more. Sometimes the passing is a relief for everyone. I love that his life is being celebrated, and his great music has been all over the airwaves again. I believe that's what Lazarus is about. Coming back from the dead.

I just ordered a 2-CD of Bowie's greatest hits and it is out of stock already! Did you all know that some people (in the U.K.) pronounce his last name BOW ie, like Bow Wow Wow? But it is definitely Bow ie, like a bowtie because he got it from American Jim Bowie (Bowie knife) Those of you who have FB, check out this tribute to The Skinny White Duke by Gavin Pring (who plays George in The Fab Four) He is from Liverpool. https://www.facebook.com/GeorgeHarrysSon?fref=ts&ref=br_tf

I have not actually listened to or watched any David Bowie music since he died. I can hear it in my head. But the other night, Monday, CNN International had it on, it was too much for me. He was such a true STAR! And now is with the stars. And I have just now been able to look at photos of David with Iman, as it breaks my heart with knowing she must be so devastated. What a lovely couple. I read Iman said the secret to having a successful marriage to such a high profile person was PRIVACY. I think she knows the truth. In time I will listen again.
