RIP to the legend David Bowie!

Somewhere, right now, a David Bowie song is playing. He is immortal.

Even when sick he still tried to put out music.. “We can be heroes”

Loved Bowie since I was 12. His music helped guide me through dark days. I owe him more than I can even say. That debt will remain unpaid. Thank you David.

God damn, even at his last public appearance he looked fantastic. Always so handsome.

Planet Earth is blue and there's nothing I can do. RIP Major Tom

Had the pleasure of seeing him seven times in concert. A truly charismatic man.

It's weird how you can feel so connected to a star. RIP Starman.

The clip "let's dance" , he just walked into a pub in the middle of "bumfuck" and said do you mind if we film a clip here. He hung around and had a few drinks with the locals afterwards. What a bloke!

People throw the word "legend" around so loosely these days. This man is the epitome of the word. And this could be an understatement.

Myself & my 2 teenage kids were in Paris heading to London after travelling for almost 6 weeks from Australia. Whilst at the Gare du Nord, I saw a French magazine with Bowie’s pic on the cover. I showed it to my daughter as we’d seen his exhibition in Melbourne some months before. I bought the magazine for her. Only 2 days later David Bowie passed away. So surreal being in London at this time with all the newspaper’s covered with this super talented man & his music constantly being played in stores everywhere. Quite numbing... RIP Mr. Bowie 🙏🏻😢

I cried when he died. He was a big part of my childhood.

I miss him dearly. RIP starman.

I became a huge fan in 71 although I was aware of his music as early as 69. Bought every album he did from that date on almost the minute it came out. I found that every new album kind of had to grow on me. I would initially think it wasn't quite as good as the previous one. It was David's brilliance that eluded me initially. After a few listens I would find the new album absolutely great. Happened nearly every time! When my daughter called me that early Monday morning exclaiming, "dad, David Bowie died", I couldn't believe it. All my girls who I raised as a single dad knew how much I loved him. Always did, always will. R.I.P. David and thank you for making a big part of my life all the better.

It's a cliche to say, but so very true when talking about the passing of such beloved and talented artists like David Bowie, Tom Petty, and Robin Williams: The world is a sadder place without them.

That is the one word that changes everyone’s life-not only yours but family and friends as well. My Dad fought stage 4 colon cancer for 8years-his primary physician didn’t think he would come out of the hospital. He did, and died at home surrounded by his loved ones 6 yrs ago. Never thought I’d hear the words again, yet they keep coming up...An aunt, my Mom, a cousin.....but Dad is watching over everyone, knock on wood, no deaths from this terrible disease in our family. May his family and friend find joy in his memories!!!

I have loved him since the first time I saw him in The Labyrinth I was about five years old. His music has shaped my life in so many ways. The world lost a musical genius I miss him everyday. My only regret in life is never getting to see him play in person. Last year we were finally blessed with a baby boy his name is Bowie.

OK. Joke's over, David. Come back.

I still miss him to this day

Met David Bowie at my candy and nut store ‘ New York is Nuts’ in Times Square in the early eighties when he was in a limited engagement of The Elephant Man on Broadway. He came in for Honey Drops for a sore throat and we hit it off, then he invited my girlfriend ( now my wife) and I to the show. The play was sold out for his whole engagement so he put us in the orchestra pit not ten feet from him during the show. Needless to say his performance was phenomenal and what a cool guy, I spent those two months making backstage deliveries of treats to him and the cast during the intermissions.

I saw him once in Brazil. Unforgettable concert, his voice was even better live, like a thunder. He was looking extremely elegant. He was wearing flip flops, and I never saw somebody looking so sharp wearing flip flops. To me and my friends, was like watching the father of all of us. He influenced so many bands and singers that we love. We felt blessed at the end of the concert.

I remember the precise moment I became a lifelong fan and avid supporter of music. I was young and quite sheltered living in a small, rural town. I had 2 older brothers who liked music, but mostly Pink Floyd, Foreigner, Fleetwood Mac and the like, and the local radio station played the arena rock of the 70s. It was after dinner, and I was watching some variety show (I wish I could remember which one), and I was half paying attention. Then, this gorgeous man with multi-colored hair and eyes appeared wearing strange clothes and carrying a big guitar. He proceeded to play an extraordinary, haunting, mind-blowing song about the travails of an astronaut who is lost in space. It was mesmerizing! I was rapt, I couldn’t believe this gorgeous man existed and that music was so powerful that it could throw you out of your comfortable existence and launch you into a new reality. It changed everything for me, and I owe so much to David Bowie. Watching him perform an acoustic version of Space Oddity on some tv show blew my mind. Rest In Peace, Mr. Bowie.

Oh no, love, you're not alone You're watching yourself, but you're too unfair You got your head all tangled up, but if I could only make you care Oh no, love, you're not alone No matter what or who you've been No matter when or where you've seen All the knives seem to lacerate your brain I've had my share, I'll help you with the pain You're not alone

I feel honoured to have walked this earth as the same time as David Bowie.....gone but never forgotten xx

I remember the day he died: I had suffered from major insomnia, I was going to school staying up around 17 hours, I was watching tv 5 in the morning, I came across, "rebel rebel" I decided to sleep rather than school. I still remember that awful morning.

Have loved him since the early 70's. I paid $8.00 to see him perform in 1976 in the classy "Station to Station" era, at the Phila. Spectrum. Now all history: Bowie, The Spectrum, and affordable concerts.

I thought of him as a very strange artist and I loved his music. It made me very sad when I heard about his passing. He was one of my favorites. God bless you you David Bowie. You brought joy too my life with you music.

when i woke up on the monday and saw on facebook that he had died i was absolutely heartbroken i cried every few minutes for 2 weeks and stayed in my room watching him on youtube and just crying so much and even now it still gets to me and i cant watch the lazarus video without crying seeing him like that knowing he didnt have much time left but he will never be forgotten

Went to David Bowie Is when it came to Brooklyn. Beyond extraordinary. He was my idol and I cried my heart out when he died.

Very few songs/videos impacted me more than Blackstar and Lazarus ...they were so heavy in the wake of his death. To leave a naked and honest view one's own approach to the other side, ...and to do it in style, is so Bowie. Very few things make me cry, but this does every time.

I got sent home from school for having the Bowie hairstyle in 1973, maybe i should change it now 🙋‍♀️🙋‍♀️🙋‍♀️👍

I guess that's the way to live life - fighting and creating to the very end.

I'm still lost but I'm also privileged to be amongst so many Bowie fans ❤. R.I.P. David, the one constant in my life ❤

Still can’t believe he’s gone

Some of the personal accounts interacting with Bowie makes my personal experience validated. I discovered Bowie as a teen in the 90s and since then his music has meant so much to me. Almost like it was written 'just for me...' as I'm sure many of you feel. I'll preface the next part by saying I'm also lucky enough not to have experienced many close deaths in my family save for a couple. But I've always heard about loved ones who pass visit you in a dream. A short time after Bowie died I had a dream and in it I sat a table to play cards and he was there and exclaimed 'Mr (my last name)...' and addressed me as such for the remainder of the dream. It's not profound but fitting to others' experiences in real life that I would have never imagined... Maybe this was also a coincidence but again, some time after his death I remember explaining on a forum how I came to like older music. I recounted how I heard Space Oddity once or twice in the early 90s (back when classic rock stations were not as prevalent as today) and in a kitschy move I bought a Bowie greatest hits album because I thought it was funny/ironic/etc but it turned out I really enjoyed the music. Sure enough after I hit 'submit' on my reply, sure as shit Space Oddity came on the radio. I've had many coincidences in my life but this was one of the most notable!

Truly a man who worked until the day he died. Rip D.B. Thank you for the parting gift 🎁

David Bowie was one kind artist ,every decade he had unique sound , he always very attractive man and good actor .Rest in peace David.

I was devastated when I heard. I found his last videos too painful to watch. I cherish the 2 times I saw him at Madison Square Garden. RIP to a unique and groundbreaking musical genius.

Its a different world without him

I'm glad he's not here to see all this right now.

Still thinking of Bowie and enjoying his music and films to this day. I once had a chance to hang out with Reeves Gabrel one night in Cambridge, MA in the early 90's at Toad with Modern Farmer and I remember thinking I could not believe his claim to have played with Bowie when he told me who he was. I picked his brain for anything he could tell me that night about David Bowie and it was a great night finding out some interesting facts about Bowie. What a profound musician and artist Bowie is and was.

I will never forget the day Bowie went to go see if there's life on Mars... I love you forever.

Hello, My brother was ten years older than me. He had a Sony turntable and an amazing record collection. One of which was David Bowie. He would let me play as often as I liked. I was six. That’s how I came to know and love David Bowie. Good times. Enjoyed the video, thanks. ❤️💜💚

He was one of those artists that always was productive, in his case about 45 years. In 85 I was nine years old and starting with absolute beginners I got to know his music through the years. Apart from so many iconic songs he also has a wide range of musical gems that are not mainstream but really jawdropping beautiful and with a depth to them. I was one of many millions in some kind of shock when he passed on. He seemed to be immortal...

I loved David Bowie I have so many memories of listening to his music, I never really stopped listening to him. Damn I miss him 😇

He fought to the very end, I'll always miss this great legend, RIP starman!

This HERO was and always will be my G.O.A.T. That will never never change , no way. RIP dear David.

The Christmas special with Bing in 1977 still makes me cry. That was the most Amazing duet...it drew tears.

Fun fact: He also wanted his song Lazarus to be featured in Peaky Blinders Season 3 because he was a superfan. I was only a year old during his reality tour, sadly, but he's my favourite artist and I really wish I could've met him. I miss him so much :(

Bowie Sydney Concerts: Feb 20 & 21, 2004 ..not 2003 ... he said he owed fans to appear post heart attack ( as he lived in Sydney for a time ) a very stylish performance . Lucky enough to see him 5 times ...highlight the Stage Tour in 1978 ...unbelievable ..

Thank you for this fresh insight. I still get emotionally overwhelmed just thinking about that Monday morning when I opened up my news feed to see the headline that he had passed away. I absolutely love you👨‍🎤

Listened to his entire discography. I love him and wish he were still around. At least we have everything he made...

True artists make the most out of their incoming death, David, Freddie Mercury, and many others, truly inspiring but heartbreaking.

We all loved Bowie. He shaped us.

Discovered his album Aladdin sane and was hooked on his music ever since... RIP ...Legend

I saw Him in concert three times. Every time it's been not as the first, but as A time. No one renews his artistic life as he did. David was One and only one, but many like none. When I saw on the web He passed away, I cried. I cried as if for a friend, I cried as if for a parent, I cried as if for a loved one. Because at the same time he died, I realized that there would never be another David. My love for music and arts - and maybe for life..? - wouldn't be the same without his opera. Thank You, Man from the stars🙏!

Had a spirit of fantastic, fantastical expression of art in everything he did... You will be forever missed. Enjoy the next leg of your dream

This man was an icon and I loved this man even tho I never met but always felt a personal connection with him. RIP Bowie you are missed.

I remember watching a tv story from the early '70s, whether it was on 60 minutes or elsewhere, on the David Bowie phenomenon. I didn't know much about him at the time, but remember being amazed at his fanatic fans idolizing him, reminding me somewhat of the screaming girls of the early Beatles days. This was around the time of the Ziggy Stardust period. It got me wondering what kind of guy was able to influence musically this way. Only later did I come to admire his one-of-a-kind creative music and artistry, to the very end.

What a great person I miss him

Just incredible, that up to the last second, that Ziggy shared his life with us. That's bravery and compassion. Be in peace:)

What an incredible artist and person, so many love his music but especially his character.

Fly high wild eyed boy from freecloud ❤

A massive loss to those that knew him and all his infinite number of fans. He influenced me from an early age and still continues through my adult life. RIP Bowie 💜

Here we are in 2023…. Would have been a great year for another Bowie album! RIP

RIP David Bowie! We miss you ❤️😭 Love you David, thank you for your awesome music and legendary career. Peace! ❤️✌️✌️✌️😭❤️

There will never be another David Bowie!! He is unique in every way!! Still haven't got over the fact there will not be a new Bowie album because he had such an eclectic output you really wondered what he would do next!! RIP!!!!!

JUST THE BEST ….again and again For ME HE IS …and I hope to meet him soon ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥

Different,charming and talented-wonderful mix.

I saw him the first time in concert in 1973 wow what a entertainer God Bless you David see you on the other side.

David will always be the enigmatic larger than life hero. His legacy is truly exceptional and quite unforgettable.I still get chills when I hear his works of art in music. Much love to Iman and their beautiful daughter. As it took a lifetime for his art and music to be appreciated, I believe that he will live on for light years to come!

“It’s a walkoff” He did it all. RIP DAVID

There's a starman waiting in the sky...

I’ll never forget meeting David when he performed in Australia , what a perfect performer !!

The greatest song writer that ever lived, or died. Nobody, but nobody, can ever get close. I miss him desperately.

Bowie was brilliant, just brilliant, in The Man Who Fell To Earth (one of my favourite movies). Then again, brilliance was his thing.

We Love you David, we miss you, you gave us years of fantastic music and incredible lyrics. 🇬🇧

really nice video, yes we were blessed to live with Bowie in the same time, saw him life. It is really touching, how at the end he was very much aware and almost predict his soon comming death. That is Bowie, he always was ahead of time. He had a huge heart and much love and huge courage- Spiritually he is sitll around!

Black Star was his goodbye to his fans. We all know this and love him for it.

Grim Reaper: Ok, David; time’s up. Time to check out. Bowie: Not yet. Got another album to make.

In this age of grand illusion you walked into my life out of my dreams.

*And the Stars still look very different* without you. R.I.P Starman ★

Starman will never die ❤️⚡

He is an artist, he never settles.

An artist bar none. Bowie made the bar and set the bar; he was always ahead of the times as far as music was concerned. I had the pleasure of seeing his Serious Moonlight Tour(opening acts were Madness and The Go-Go's) and then Glass Spider Tour w/Peter Frampton on guitars(opening act was Siouxie and The Banshees). The Serious Moonlight Tour concert was at the L.A. Colosseum and The Glass Spider Tour concert at Anaheim Stadium. Great performer. A living legend in his own right. May he forever shine (R.I.P).

I went one step futher .I was a Lighting operator for him ..He was a true rock star and he played the part real well too ..I worked with so many big bands in the 80,s as I was at my peck in the lighting world .His show was one I will always remember .Chris Simmons ,

Bowie was brilliant....RIP....

David Bowie you were a fantastic person respect man I miss you rest in peace I carry you forever in the heart of respect😢

David Bowie influences my music, thank you David Bowie!

My brother I miss you

He will always be my goblin king :(

I love you David, and Iman, young Alex. RIP, May God bring you comfort and peace.

Davids music continues to guide me through some dark days. 🖤

One of his greatest moments for me was when he introduced the snowman, gave millions of kids special Christmases ever after.

One of the most influential artists of the 20th century! One of a kind

I will always miss him still breaks my heart 😢💔

Still can't bear it... ugh!

He was the best I think I seen him around 10 times in concert, he was amazing. R.I.P. God Bless him an his family

my heart still aches...

He's with the rest of the legends before and following cruising the galaxy finding life amongst the stars.
