david bowie passed away :(

It's heartbreaking. The Labyrinth is still one of my favorites. This is OT though, so lets try to make this a celebration of his life and not just sadness. A bit of sadness is ok, too, of course, and expected. But he was an amazing man who did amazing things, so I'm sure we can think about those, too.

An amazing musician with an amazing voice.

My idol left us... Im so sad right now... :´(

[Galactica]

So sad-  that is pretty awesome of him to have planned the album as a parting gift.

I've always loved David Bowie.  I think he was the first really big star to play around with gender expression and still be regarded highly by the mainstream.  He was a brilliant artist.

So unexpected...

Well, he will always be remembered for scaring the bejeevus out of me in the Labyrinth. I still don't understand how that is classified as a kids movie :/

He fought hard.  Atleast he is at peace.

I didn't own is albums but I grew up with the movie Labyrinth.      So unexpected....

Same here.  A true icon.

I heard very early this morning and was shocked and sad.  They said it was cancer and he head been suffering with it for 18 months.  I found from googling that a Dutch website said it was liver cancer but I don't know if there's an actual confirmation or not.

Yeah, I also grew up on labyrinth, one of my favorites.  Now I don't think I can watch it the same anymore.

Yeah, someone texted me right after the news hit the press. I'm dealing with a lot of feelings right now. Maybe it's the stages of grief. I'm a little angry that some brilliant, amazing people die and barely anyone notices, but when David Bowie dies all of social media blows up. I know that's some irrational anger, but... yeah. I think most of us feel like we have a really personal connection with David Bowie and that's not likely a coincidence.

I was saddened to hear the news earlier today I really liked his music.

[vampyrefay]

I've been crying all day because of it, his music helped me through a lot growing up and no one can ever replace the man that fell to earth

[Ribbs]

Very sad. He was hugely influential to me as a musician. RIP.

I am soooo heartbroken.  I knew this day would come.  But I didn't want it to come yet!

[Lilithdrff]

Been bummed all day. I'm just grateful I got to live in the same time as such a legend, and that he left us with many an amazing piece of art to remember him by.

It's so sad that he is gone. I grew up watching the Labyrinth, it was a big part of my childhood. At least he is no longer suffering. Cancer is such a horrible thing.
