In memory of David Bowie here are some of his greatest hits

The Groninger Museum in Groningen, about 125 miles northeast of Amsterdam, added a memorial book for those who came to grieve Bowie’s passing. “We had dinner together and we had some good conversations – and I’ll miss that”.

The star battled illness for 18 months before his death on Sunday, but kept it a secret from all but close friends and family – even though he knew it was likely to kill him. The video opens with him emerging from a dark closet.

“I don’t enjoy performing terribly much”.

Rod Stewart has described David Bowie as the “fearless leader of the pack”.

“It was a basement flat with two bedrooms, pretty small and all subterranean. He has always been around throughout my life, he’s so pervasive in pop culture”, she said.

There were also posts of one of Bowie’s favorite lines: “I once read Webster’s Dictionary and concluded it was a really long poem about everything”.

The music legend first achieved fame in the early 70s.

Bowie pressed Goodman as to why black musicians were not being played.

Bruce said: “He was sensational”. I mean genius is an overused word but I think musically, creatively, artistically David Bowie was a genius. He asked them if they would sing some backing vocals. Starr never forgot that kiss. He was friendly and down to earth – just one of the lads laughing back stage. I saw a man fighting. That same day, he released his album, Blackstar. I’ll be offline for a while.

The reality TV competition broadcast the 66 year-old’s grief at the end of Monday night’s episode, immediately after hearing of his shock passing.

From glam rock sensation Ziggy Stardust to Halloween Jack to Aladdin Sane, David Bowie’s various personas were as attention grabbing as his music. The song “Lazarus” appears on his last album, a collaboration with a jazz quartet called “Blackstar”, which was released this past Friday, on Bowie’s birthday. It’s claimed the album was his parting gift to the world and his way of saying goodbye.
