[Makai]

Hoax

 

[Zeyphersan]

[Alphahawk]

What? He just released a new album like a couple days ago.

He was having a comeback.

 

[Raitosaito]

No way

 

[AzureSkies]

RIP David Bowie.

I really got into his discography last year and was meaning to pick up blackstar but haven't yet. Listening to it now.

Some are saying its a hoax.

 

[Floridian]

Some site says it's a hoax.

 

[zerotol]

No fucking way

 

[Foxix Von]

Oh my gosh, no

 

[MattyG]

It's on the official, verified Bowie pages, so I'm afraid it's not a hoax

 

[Dagobert Duck]

Is this real? Wasnt he supposed to have a new album and tour with it? And then cancer, i never knew he was sick?

Wow R.I.P. David Bowie

 

[UrokeJoe]

no fucking way

 

[Wario64]

Massmedia is a hoax site of itself

I'm hoping the posting on the official social media pages are hacked though

 

[injurai]

It's on the official Bowie pages, so I'm afraid it's not a hoax

I think people just want to believe it's a hoax. My heart is sinking.

 

[jbug617]

It's on his verified page though.

 

[Dabanton]

Holy shit .

No.

 

[Ishida]

Calling bullshit on this.

EDIT: Wow... I can't believe this... It was actually true. RIP, Mr. Bowie.

 

[Gentleman Jack]

I really really hope this isn't true, what the fuck.

 

[Palette Swap]

No. This has to be a joke.

That's awful.

 

[FeenixRising]

Hold up?! What?!

 

[EloquentM]

Isn't that his official Facebook

 

[Amedo310]

Nvm. Rest in peace.

 

[Tuber]

His Twitter account is saying the same. Not sure what to think here. Hopefully a hoax.

Edit: Looking unlikely it's fake, as much as I wish it were. Damn. Rest in peace, and what a huge loss.

 

[Chinner]

Seems kinda fake...?

 

[Zaph]

No no no no no no. No.

 

[daviyoung]

It's on his twitter too

 

[BeforeU]

I couldn't find any other media reporting this.

 

[Frecklestein]

It HAS TO BE A HOAX. I'm waiting till TMZ or other sites report on it. I don't want to believe.

 

[jetsetrez]

NO FUCKING WAY. NO.

 

[Adnor]

What the fuck, no!

RIP

 

[Coldsun]

Let me get this straight. People are taking this to be true just because of a Bowie's (official) facebook page says it?

Yeah, no.

Until a news site also claims it, I'll place my bet on it being a hoax from a hacker.

 

[Psychoward]

It's on his official page at least... RIP if true, scared me to death as a child in Labyrinth but made up for it with his music.

 

[Dresden]

Fucking terrible. Hope it's fake.

 

[Jarmel]

Yea it's legit.

[Mihael Mello Keehl]

I know Anihawk loves david bowie

 

[pizzapizza64]

I strongly doubt this is real.

 

[Come to Butt-Head]

Nooooooooo!

God damn it!

RIP.

 

[mp1990]

Rest in peace. Arguably the best musician to ever grace this world.

 

[tilting_msh]

it's on his twitter and fb. but maybe they were hacked?

 

[Death Metalist]

Holy shit, what the fuck? Jesus, Rest in Peace, The man who sold the world. (If it's true) That's damn sad.
