[Juicy Bob]

Guess it's time to play Phantom Pain today then.

 

[rObit]

What the fuck. Another legend gone too soon. R.I.P.

 

[RecRoulette]

i dont want to believe since its not on TMZ yet, but fuck

ugh

Before his son confirmed it I kinda had the same thought. This is the one TMZ misses.

 

[Cookie18]

I don't remember the last time I have been this shocked at someones death. I thought he had years left, his new album came out this week for goodness sake. This is so awful.

 

[mrjohill]

This is very upsetting.

 

[Lionel Mandrake]

What the fuck?!

Thought he was healthy and going strong. : (

 

[Sn4ke_911]

One of the best moments in MGSV was when this song played.

RIP

 

[Tinfoilhatsron]

Aw fuck no.

 

[CheesecakeRecipe]

Something happened on the day he died,
Spirit rose a meter and stepped aside.
Somebody else took his place, and bravely cried,
Thank you for everything, Mr. Bowie.

Your accomplishments have been a part of my life since I understood what music was and I'll carry that with me until I join you among the stars. Rest well, sir.

 

[Tomita]

I put on Starman after reading this, and ended up crying. This is the first time I've cried over a celebrity's death.

I played it too, it's my favorite song of his. Ugh ):

 

[IceMarker]

It's a sad day for music.

Rest in peace you legend.

 

[industrian]

I wasn't a big fan, but no-one can diminish his contributions to music and culture.

69 seems too young, but it just goes to show how life is and teaches you to cherish it.

 

[Spikematic]

Really caught me offguard. What a tragedy. RIP you legend.

 

[Lunar FC]

Ugh, I'm an idiot, sorry. I even Googled it briefly to check but didn't read enough -- I think it was still an homage to Bowie's style though.

No worries, I thought it was him in Tron for a good while.

 

[elfboy]

this is the only celebrity death that has ever hit me hard. bowie meant so much to me and he meant so much to so many other people too. rip u glorious man

 

[Raiku]

Goodness

RIP to a legend

 

[C4Lukins]

Wow watching that Lazarus video he just released, and the lyrics are super eerie. He must have known it was coming soon.

 

[Blue Calx]

Holy shit. Been listening to Blackstar lately and it's a phenomenal album one of his best. Completely shocked right now. R.I.P. to one of my favorite artist of all time and a true legend. Gonna be listening to Bowie all day today.

 

[ezekial45]

Man...

 

[Reckoner]

Was he telling us this in the Lazarus song/video?

I'm really sad. Will live forever in our hearts as a legend. RIP Bowie.

 

[FelixTheSexranger]

Goodbye David. You left on heck of music legacy behind you.

 

[dallow_bg]

There has never been a person like David Bowie and there will never again be a person like David Bowie.

I'm really moved to tears tonight.

Yup. This really upsets me.
I'm going to have to get used to this for the next decade.

Musical hero.

 

[Inkvoterad]

holy fuck

 

[onken]

Strung out on heaven's high, hitting an all-time low

 

[Shadow_Lord]

Listening to this song right is destroying my feelings ;_; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3oe2G5Lzwo0&ab

 

[Yrael]

I was skeptical of this, until his son confirmed it.

One of my earliest memories is of the animation The Snowman. David Bowie was the narrator of the opening, playing the part of the boy all grown up.

RIP.

 

[xVaalbarAx]

I put on Starman after reading this, and ended up crying. This is the first time I've cried over a celebrity's death.

That was the first song I put on after hearing the news as well. I'm still in shock. :/

 

[Roi]

What a way to start the monday morning...

 

[Qvoth]

Rip

 

[TheAbsolution]

Man, This totally sucks.
There will never be another musician like David Bowie. RIP.

 

[Afro Samurai]

RIP.

Omg, he did narrate the opening of the Snowman! I need to watch that again.

 

[Littlefang]

Fuck I was still hoping this wasn't real. RIP David Bowie. No one will ever be able to compare to you.

 

[B_Spooky13]

A true loss to the music world.

Going to watch Labyrinth tomorrow.

RIP

 

[SalvaPot]

Well then its 100% confirmed now, R.I.P.

 

[Count Dookkake]

Whoa. Just saw this. Pretty broken up.

I was lucky to have seen him perform 3 times. Wish there could have been more.

 

[TheWorst]

I can't bring myself to accept this. Probably the first celeb death to really destroy me. What an amazing artist.

 

[zerotol]

Can't even wrap my mind around this. Absolutely shocked and sad.

 

[Secret_asian_man]

RIP

I literally just finished watching the Scooby Doo Myster Inc. episode with the Jareth looking character too. Was thinking of watching Labyrinth

 

[Moppeh]

Holy fuck, after all the buzz about his new album, I was not expecting this.

Listening to Station to Station right now. RIP you wonderful, beautiful man.

 

[Marvie_3]

Holy fuck

 

[StarlordDial]

Bowie nooo

 

[Psychoward]

my friend's a college marketing rep for sony and she has all these blackstar posters that she was planning on putting up over campus

 

[Fou-Lu]

Cancer fucking sucks. Bowie had so much left in him.

 

[miserable]

horrible news to wake up to

RIP Mr Bowie

 

[NYCmetsfan]

Wow watching that Lazarus video he just released, and the lyrics are super eerie. He must have known it was coming soon.

He's known he had cancer for over a year...

 

[The Real Abed]

I didn't even know he was sick. 😢

 

[Blastoise]

 

[Lys Skygge]

I'm so sad right now (((

 

[Lucian Cat]

RIP you beautiful beautiful man

 

[Blizzard]

Listening to this song right is destroying my feelings ;_; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3oe2G5Lzwo0&ab

That's the same song I went to before anything else of Bowie's.
