Here's another track that's in my top ten. It's probably one of his lesser known songs, but, wow, he delivers one hell of a vocal. Prepare to be blown away.
Can You Hear Me - David Bowie

Not a fan but shiiiiit... end of an era. So soon after Lemmy passing, too.
RIP

Not ready for this.
Under Pressure is one of my top 10 songs of Bowie, and to have him collab with Queen is just pure ecstasy.
Seeing it rendered live with Annie Lennox at the Queen tribute was just insane. Beyond anything we'll see for some time.

Rest in love, Mr Jones.
Brilliant work, mate.
RIP. David Bowie was my favorite artist. I didn't know how to handle this news so I stayed up and listened to Blackstar and drew this picture as tribute.
Thanks for decades of amazing music.
Brilliant work, mate.

Too bad Lennox didn't have the voice for that song whatsoever.

I still can't process this. Listening to Blackstar now, picked it up yesterday. It's an emotional experience, to say the least.
I need to do some work and it's just not happening today.

I put together a spotify playlist of some of my favorite melancholy Bowie tracks because I can't fucking sleep. So depressed.

Rest in peace David Bowie. Never got to know him, but soon will.
He was really important in my life.
He has always shown me a version of the world that not only cooler, but in a lot of ways, more true than the world I live in.
One the few people in the world who made me get up and dance and one of the greatest artists of the civilization.
David Bowie made me love life during a lot of periods in my life where few things would. The depht of astonishment and wonder he would often cause me wasn't erased a single bit as the years went by.
Depht is a funny word on the pop world. But Bowie had it. He was a deep well of the wonderful in our world; I am a pretty arrogant person, but Bowie always seem to know something about life that I just didn't. And it always peeved me as well as inspired me. He always managed to be the counter-argument to much of my cinicysm.
The world is unremarkable in a lot of ways. But then there's David Bowie. As bland as the world can be, there's always David Bowie in there pointing us torwards our potential; that we can always live in a world that is more colorful and wonderful.

Oh no one could really have matched Freddy but she did a bloody good job at it. Just like Mercury, Presley and Jackson, Bowie will live on and continue filling our ears full of his amazing music. Can't wait to introduce my children to his wonderful talents.
First Tweet I saw this morning was from Duncan.
Such sad news.
Two bits that may not be that well known elsewhere:
His contribution to the soundtrack of Raymond Briggs' heart-breaking, post-nuclear When the Wind Blows (check the film out if you haven't seen it):

And his soundtrack to the Buddha of Suburbia:

Love When The Wind Blows, the Buddha of Suburbia album has quite a few similarities to Blackstar, so underrated, it should never have been promoted as a soundtrack, only the title track was on the show.

Wow. Legit shaken right now at just finding out. Goddammit. Wow. Ruined my week. RIP, you smooth badass muthafucka.
Thank you for sharing, you put this in great words somehow.

Just last week there was a picture posted of him making a public appearance, and everyone was saying how good he looked. The man was that far into having cancer and could still rock a suit.
I feel like this is going to be discussed for a century to come. People a hundred years from now are going to be glancing at old photos of David Bowie from the last days of his life and they're going to realize that no one has ever worn a suit like Ziggy frelling Stardust.

HUH, did anyone know he had cancer, or was I just not paying attention? One of the fucking best to ever do it, LEGEND.
Well, there has been speculation about his health for years but no-one really knew apart from immediate friends and family.
From long-time collaborator, Tony Visconti:
I prefer the rehearsal footage.

I am so shocked about this news. David's music was a huge part of my life and an influence on my own music. So very sad, and more so that yet another life is lost to this terrible disease. My thoughts are with his family.

This gives a new meaning to the Moonage Daydream cover by Murder by Death that I had commissioned via kickstarter.
Rest in Space, Bowie.

Who's that guy called cancer who kills all of my idols? Fuck him!
Also, this feels so much like karma to me personally. I was always a guy who said to some bands and singers "i'll see them later".
So, now, as soon as lemmy died i was already like fuck this, i need to see them all, no more later. Man they just all slip through my hands now, i can't bear that feeling.
Edit: Yeah.. R.I.P David, but i guess there's no need to mourn. You sir rocked your life like no other. You just have gone much to early.
