Having lost my father to cancer about 2 weeks ago, this news fucking sucks. Cancer sucks.
Really saddened by this RIP David Bowie.

Condolences. It takes too many people. =(

 

[ZeroX03]

I'm all for people mourning.

But please do it without a dinosaur emoticon saying "I don't want to live on this planet anymore".

A man fucking died.

There's a time and place to be critical of that sort of behavior and now is not the fucking time. Keep it to yourself.

 

[psykomyko]

This really sucks

I became a fan of his work couple years ago and after just listening to a couple of his albums, he instantly became my favorite artist. Such a diverse discography.

His new album is such a great album. A fantastic final album.

RIP

 

[rockman zx]

RIP

 

[kess]

I feel like, even though I wasn't an deep fan of his... I always really respected him, I loved what I knew and heard from him....

One of those people I didn't know I loved until I heard he was gone.

The man and the music meant so much to so many people I know. My best friend adores Bowie. This is so unexpected.

[Dabanton]

Just played Magic Dance. I consider the Labyrinth OST to be a classic along with his other stuff.

 

[Ronabo]

ri.p.

 

[Lionel Mandrake]

I haven't even listened to Blackstar yet. That's changing tomorrow.

In the meantime, I'm listening to a couple of classics.

 

[Kain]

This is the fucking worst. Fuck. Fuck.

A legend has gone.

 

[davepoobond]

im still in disbelief.

 

[Metalmarc]

R.I.P wasn't a massive fan, but I liked a Lot of his singles, also under pressure with queen etc
I appreciated what he did for music, I will give his album work more of a listen I think.

 

[Majine]

People seemed happy about Black Star.

What an ending.

 

[BladeoftheImmortal]

I'm sorry, but why is this unbelievable (everyone on first page). Old people die, so do celebrities...

Edit: forgot to say RIp and my condolences.

 

[Moaradin]

2016 already off to an awful start

 

[kogasu]

The awful music news just won't stop!

RIP Bowie

 

[CelticKnight]

I know he hasn't performed live for a while but this really came out of left field. RIP, and condolences to his friends and family.

It's been a rough few week for the world of music, sadly.

 

[gspec]

Rest in Peace, ziggy

 

[ZeroX03]

Listening to Girl Loves Me

 

[QisTopTier]

 

[smuf]

Just woke up to this, this is horrible. My 2 biggest musical heroes, Bowie and Reed are both gone now.

 

[SolidSnakeUS]

RIP to one of the best musicians ever. So many good songs.

 

[xxracerxx]

I'm sorry, but why is this unbelievable (everyone on first page). Old people die, so do celebrities...

69 is not old. And the shocker comes because no one really knew he was sick, just like Lemmy.

 

[Tevos]

Fuck. I had no idea he was ill.

RIP

 

[ghostmind]

RIP.

Far too young.

 

[SuperBanana]

Lemmy and now Bowie. Fucking shit start to 2016.

 

[TheWrathOfSean]

Man this is awful. The only black stars are black holes. Dead stars. Man.

 

[spindashing]

I'm sorry, but why is this unbelievable (everyone on first page). Old people die, so do celebrities...

I don't think we knew of his cancer diagnosis. Plus he just released an album not even a week ago.

 

[SZips]

Really sad news. Hope he rests in peace.

 

[RecRoulette]

I'm sorry, but why is this unbelievable (everyone on first page). Old people die, so do celebrities...

Celebrity death hoaxes, no prior knowledge of him getting sick, him just releasing an album 2 days ago.

 

[Das Ace]

I'm sorry, but why is this unbelievable (everyone on first page). Old people die, so do celebrities...

He just released an album, like literally a half a week ago.

Apart from that, if anyone was going to live forever it seemed like he would

 

[Cramoss]

WHAT?

 

[Extra Sauce]

I'm sorry, but why is this unbelievable (everyone on first page). Old people die, so do celebrities...

69 is not that old and none of us knew he had cancer. There's also the fact that he dropped an amazing album mere days ago. It is genuinely shocking.

 

[BeatnikGunsoo]

69 is not old. And the shocker comes because no one really knew he was sick, just like Lemmy.

like I just found out lemmy died man I seriously did not know

 

[TAJ]

Has The Man Who Fell to Earth been released on Blu-ray yet, because I really want to watch it again.
I'm still in shock.

It was one of the first Criterion titles on Blu-ray and went out of print years ago. Last I checked it was pretty expensive.

 

[the anime man]

Really upset right now... rest in peace David.

 

[Alphahawk]

Man, so I put on some Bowie songs and in light of this news they are a whole lot sadder than I expected them to be.

 

[Feichaw]

I've just listened to Lazarus...holy shit, it's like it was meant to be played after his death. Very powerful song.

RIP. You're a legend that will never be forgotten.

 

[LyleLanley]

I'm sorry, but why is this unbelievable (everyone on first page). Old people die, so do celebrities...

Edit: forgot to say RIp and my condolences.

I was certain Bowie was immortal.

 

[Owari]

RIP to the legend

Sad as fuck day


Fuck cancer. Fuck everything.

 

[VARIA]

Just devastated at this news. His music just meant so much to me and the musicians I cherish. His influence is eternal.

RIP to The Prettiest Star

 

[sprsk]

I'm sorry, but why is this unbelievable (everyone on first page). Old people die, so do celebrities...

Edit: forgot to say RIp and my condolences.

It was because there was an actual death hoax being circulated a few days ago, so people were cautious which is understandable considering the circumstances. (He just released an album, looked pretty OK for someone in the final stages of his battle with cancer, so on).

 

[injurai]

Man Blackstar is such a swan song, it feels so different listening to it now than a few days ago...

Haunting, Inspiring, Beautiful, Transcended. It captures so much that I love in Bowie, including doing something completely new and strange.

 

[JTripper]

Time to watch Life Aquatic and cry my eyes out.

 

[XGRaViSmOrSX]

Ugh, fuck cancer.

RIP Ziggy Stardust.

 

[Trouble]

FUCK ;_;

RIP Mr. Stardust

 

[Neferteetee]

Oh wow. RIP
