Well recently a hacker got into several YouTube and Twitch streamers channels and twitters, and none of them were related to another. If a hacker really wanted to put out a hoax he could've gotten into his sons twitter cause he knew it'd amp it up.

So I ask, how reliable are The Hollywood Reporter and Sky News? Cause I'm not taking anything on social media sites as confirmation.

Very reliable. And his son confirmed it.

RIP. Ziggy stardust changed my life. Time to give it a spin.

 

[suzu]

RIP

 

[StopMakingSense]

Fucking fuckity fuck. Boulez and now Bowie. Terrible few days for music.

 

[RoadHazard]

Holy shit, this comes as a complete surprise to me. Lemmy was sort of non-shocking, but this... damn. RIP.

They do their homework. Reputable.

His son confirmed it so it's time to just accept it man.

 

[Dalek]

Fuck.

The stars look very different today.

 

[Kraftwerk]

Whatever 'sleep' I had was pretty much slapped away form me. legit not sleeping tonight.

One of my goals in life was to meet him and have a conversation..

 

[injurai]

Terribly sad news to end the night on.

I'll find him alive in my dreams.

How reliable would you consider his son?

 

[overcast]

[NYCmetsfan]

No...... RIP. I can't believe it...

 

[Sioen]

[LyleLanley]

I don't think I've ever felt this bad about the death of someone I've never met.

 

[Animator]

Fuck you 2016,

RIP Bowie. What a huge talent he was.

 

[Imperial]

Terribly sad news. RIP

 

[BobLoblaw]

Rest in peace. :\

 

[egruntz]

RIP

 

[Yagharek]

I hope he didn't suffer. What a tragedy.

We're lucky to have been able to see the kind of art he created. Truly one of a kind.

 

[Vard]

RIP

 

[diamount]

Fucking hell, I'm speechless.

 

[Akiyama_AE]

man the start of 2016 and so many icons died O_O

 

[Vigilant Walrus]

David Bowie is in every videogame ever

Fuck. This was one of my favorite GAF threads and now it's horribly bittersweet.

It just shows how incredible he was and how much he meant to everyone. Like Freddy Mercury, he is a person who a league of his own from other world famous musicians.

 

[Afro Samurai]

I'll listen to Ziggy Stardust in his honor.

 

[Odrion]

I know he was 69 and normally when an old celebrity passes on I'm not too devastated but... Fuck. I wish he could've lived forever. I wish we could've seen what he would've done after Blackstar.

 

[Mufc1427]

Damn

RIP

 

[31GhostsIV]

Just woke up to this news two minutes ago, and shocked by it.

RIP

 

[half a moon]

My sisters real sad fuck cancer

 

[kess]

Wow, I'm shocked.

 

[xVaalbarAx]

"There's a star man waiting in the sky."

You are the Star Man, David Bowie.

RIP. :/

 

[Nanashrew]

Vinny, on vinesauce is taking this so hard.

This is just so crazy... RIP David Bowie.

I'm probably going to watch Labyrinth in his honor.

 

[LiquidSword]

Was listening to Blackstar half an hour ago. Rip

 

[Any Questions]

Loved Bowie!

He was releasing so much work recently. Am listening to BBC now.

RIP

 

[jett]

What the FUCK, man? He just released an album. No, man. No. :|

 

[Walshicus]

No

Watched "Labyrinth" the day before yesterday and even listened to his new album, thinking he'd live until his 80s ._.

Bye, Mr. Jones/Bowie. Have a good one.

Yeah, we'd had labyrinth playing over the weekend too... I know a couple who got together over that movie.

 

[Fjordson]

Whoa. Shocking. With Blackstar coming out I guess I (foolishly) assumed all was well.

RIP to one of the greatest musicians ever. Gonna listen to the Berlin trilogy tonight.

 

[RoadHazard]

69 isn't old. I mean, not nearly old enough to go.

 

[DirtyManos]

Oh my fucking god.

I haven't had a celebrity death hit me this hard.....ever.


God fucking damnit. GOD FUCKING DAMNIT.

Everything about him was just.....

Fuck.

RIP, condolences to his family and friends.

Earth just became a whole lot shittier.

Obligatory and they are hopefully singing it in the afterlife.

[BigJonsson]

NBC News reporting it now

 

[BocoDragon]

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.

 

[Steamlord]

No no no... RIP to perhaps the greatest pop musician of all time. Crazy how this happened just three days after he gave us what's probably his best album since Let's Dance.
