In shock, see the post before last, the new album was on since Friday, I’d revisited ‘The Next Day’ as a result. Bowie has been in my life since my first memories of radio and Top Of The Pops and now he’s gone. A huge loss for music and another legend taken from us by cancer. Watching the video for new album track ‘Lazarus’ over the weekend I now realise the significance of the final scene. What an exit, a career orchestrated down to the last days. RIP David Bowie
UPDATE: There have been some lovely tributes cropping up in my social media feed today, this one from Christian Ward is beautiful. “Been thinking about what to say. Figured art would say it better. See you Star-man. Thanks for the music”.
Sophie Harrington did this via Twitter which says it all
Continuing the Ziggy Stardust theme, Shindig magazine posted this…
Rough Trade are donating all profits from sales of the artist to Cancer Research for the whole of January.
PS. Just remembered that there’s a little nod to Bowie in the text of ‘The Search Engine’, see if you can find it.
Man who fell to earth was actually a documentary. I like to think that our Great British Alien has finally returned to his own kind. He’s somewhere out there…floating in a tin can….
