Yep. That was a shocker!
And barely 69 at that. I think it was his birthday last week.

Pete and I were out riding through the hinterlands of Northern Thailand this afternoon.  Was humming snippets of This is not America and Ashes to Ashes on the ride.  Damn.  Had I known, I would have stopped and taken two minutes and fired up the MP3 player.   :sad:

RIP Mr Bowie

It's reported that he died from liver cancer...internet says...

More than half of all people diagnosed with primary liver cancer have cirrhosis -- a scarring condition of the liver commonly caused by alcohol abuse. Hepatitis B and C and hemochromatosis can cause permanent damage and liver failure. Liver cancer may also be linked to obesity and fatty liver disease.

Watched an aunt die last year from that liver scarring caused from a poor diet. So what did we do for the wake? Drink alcohol of course! :shocked:

I'm most grateful to Bowie for helping restart Lou Reed's solo career.  He produced Lou's second solo album Transformer, after his first album flopped.

A true musical chameleon - rock, folk, pop, jazz, you name it.  Just Brilliant.  An enigmatic rock hero.

We'll miss you, David Bowie.

It was no surprise to Bowie. The opening lyrics to his latest, just released,  album..."Look up here I'm in heaven".

It's linked to smoking too.
