So is Blackstar any good?

Incredible.

 

[hughesta]

RIP. One of the greatest to have ever done it. I'm very sad now, and the world is worse off for his loss

 

[kirblar]

Was it known that he had cancer?

No, this was kept under wraps.

 

[FinalStageBoss]

I thought this was a hoax?

 

[Hip Hop]

I stilll wont believe it. Every news outlet is quoting the same sentence. nothing else ...god fuckign DAMNIT

It's sadly been confirmed by reps of him

 

[Dead]

This is shocking

Was just talking to my dad about his new album several hours ago and he was raving about it.

jesus christ

 

[Dr.Acula]

Could be a hack. Weird to post the news before dawn or through any other channels.

He's from an older generation, would his family really want a post to Facebook at 6-something in the morning in England?

On the flip, maybe to get ahead of it breaking on Perez Hilton or something?

I dunno, I hate the 21st century.

 

[thestopsign]

Damn. RIP.

 

[Bam Bam Baklava]

I stilll wont believe it. Every news outlet is quoting the same sentence. nothing else ...god fuckign DAMNIT

Come on man, you know how this goes.

 

[adamsappel]

That's really shitty news. RIP.

 

[Dabanton]

I'm shocked.

RIP if this is true his musical legacy will be forever, so many memories and moments his soundtracked for me.

 

[Floridian]

And Blackstar was an amazing album. RIP Legend Bowie

 

[hidys]

He was the coolest pop star of all time and put out an amazing amount of fantastic music.

RIP. There will never be another like him.

 

[akira28]

If he is dead, this would be a totally Bowie way to go.

 

[BraXzy]

I guess it is true then?

RIP

 

[Prompto]

Fuck. I didn't realize he was in poor health. RIP

 

[red731]

NO!! FUCK!!

Rest in peace, David Bowie ;_;7
Condolences to family and all your closest ones...

If he is dead, this would be a totally Bowie way to go.

You suck.

 

[Dazzler]

If sky news are reporting it, it's true

RIP to a legend

Weird that I never thought of him as a mortal man, just someone who'd be around forever

 

[Frecklestein]

 

[Coldsun]

If this all turns out to be fake, I hope the news sites claiming a rep confirmed it, get publicly shamed.

Reading something on a few sites does not mean rep has made those statements. I want someone explicitly named who is affiliated with Bowie to make such a statement.

 

[so1337]

Pushing through the market square
so many mothers sighing
News had just come over,
we had five years left to cry in

News guy wept and told us
earth was really dying
Cried so much his face was wet
then I knew he was not lying

A legend in every sense of the word. RIP Bowie.

 

[timetokill]

Praying for it to be a hoax, but it's looking truer by the minute. Damn it.

 

[yogloo]

I'm actually feeling angry over this.

 

[theignoramus]

RIP

 

[Kurdel]

Wow, this is so sad.

 

[Gentleman Jack]

Damn I'm getting misty eyed just recalling his voice.

 

[minor effort]

This is one of the best albums ever recorded.

 

[JeffZero]

He was the best of pop and he was idol and influence to my favorite musician (Reznor).

Nimoy in '15 shook me to my core. This is going to be the Nimoy of my '16.

RIP, Bowie.

 

[Mutanthands]

Wow, after his heart troubles, he went quiet for about 9 years. I was glad to have him back with The Next Day, and then Blackstar. And, just like that, gone for good.

RIP to a true original.

 

[Colonel Nasty]

I'm gonna cry if he shows up in Zoolander 2

 

[H.Protagonist]

Hard to believe...

 

[BuddyJoeHooker]

It's a very sad day

RIP to a true Legend

 

[robotrock]

duncan jones just confirmed it.

[User1608]

What!? Oh my god.... Rest in peace legend, you've earned it. Wow.

 

[Extra Sauce]

What the fuck. Just watched Labyrinth yesterday and was thinking about how I would love a sequel.

So watching Labyrinth tomorrow.

 

[injurai]

Blackstar now will be an incredibly sad song to me. Having a hard time on this play through of it...

 

[HotHamWater]

Duncan Jones confirms.

 

[LyleLanley]

Well this is a real punch to the gut. The coolest man to ever live will truly be missed.

 

[hawk2025]

I am riding this goddamn Denial train until the fucking bitter end where there are multiple sources and quotes confirming it.

 

[Griegite]

What HotHamWater said...

 

[Grassy]

Holy shit, RIP....

 

[Helmholtz]

NONONO WHAT THE FUCK NO

 

[Wario64]

It's weird that not many sites are running this if it isn't a hoax. The news is trickling slowly

 

[AHA-Lambda]

duncan jones just confirmed it.

https://twitter.com/ManMadeMoon/status/686441083648212992

Damn that's heartbreaking

 

[MattyG]

I wasn't even the most massive Bowie fan (mostly just liked the hits), but for some reason this really hurts. Out of fucking nowhere.

I'm going to listen to Blackstar for the first time before I go to sleep tonight.

 

[Evo X]

Wow, this is devastating. RIP musical legend.

 

[spindashing]

Fuck fuck fuck fuck I didn't need this


RIP...

 

[super-famicom]

Oh wow, this is surprising. I sang Space Oddity at karaoke just last week.

RIP David Bowie.

 

[mreddie]

How?

 

[semisonic]

Holy shit.
RIP.
