David Bowie died from liver cancer?
The video was viewed millions of times, and Bowie gave the rendition his seal of approval, calling it “the most poignant version of the song ever created”.
“David Bowie died peacefully today surrounded by his family after a courageous 18-month battle with cancer”.
ANTHONY DECURTIS, “Rolling Stone”: Suddenly, here’s David Bowie, kind of a much more complex, subversive figure than many of those artists were. “He did it all”, said one fan. “David Jones is a man I met”.
“Like them, he changed the world for the better”.
“If I have an option of playing something myself or turning it over to a qualified, card-carrying musician, I’ll usually opt for the latter”. That same day, he released his album, Blackstar. “The first time I saw him was when he was supporting Humble Pie”.
Channel 5 said in a statement yesterday: “Following the very sad news of David Bowie’s death, we can now confirm that Angie Bowie has been informed off camera by her representatives”. I’ll be offline for a while. “I feel a huge gap now”. David Bowie honored us with his gifts, which will enthrall generations to come.
After experiencing some early success with Space Oddity (1969), Bowie followed up with two platinum selling records (1971’s Hunky Dory and 1972’s The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders From Mars).
The singer released his latest album, Blackstar, on his birthday on Friday.
It is likely that fans will keep hitting the rewind button, trying to grasp each word and uncover the important, hidden message-which I suspect was exactly what Bowie had in mind.
A member of Bowie’s inner circle, Gerry Leonard previously performed with him at the Point Theatre in November 2003 for the Reality Tour.
David Bowie’s death was announced on Twitter and Facebook, and social media is where his life and legacy have been most widely celebrated. It features the haunting track Lazarus, which poignantly opens with the lyrics: “Look up here, I’m in Heaven”.
