I was just looking for Blackstar yesterday and couldn't find it anywhere.

Fuck cancer, man. This came out of left field for me and I think my heart stopped when I saw his FB page post that. RIP.

I mean, he looked really worn down in the music videos for the new album, but I just assumed he was aging badly.  :sad:

Rest in Peace David Bowie. Between Scott Weiland, Lemmy, and now this, it's been an awful few months for amazing musicians. Absolutely brutal.

Really saddened to hear this. One of the most unique musicians (and individuals, really) that we have ever seen. I had been waffling on whether to buy the new album.

I could never get into his music, but still had a lot of respect for him as an artist. And he wasn't a bad actor either.

This is the moment we suddenly get the new videos and songs. "Look up here, I'm in heaven." Nobody knew, but he left us these works of art, as if he was like "I told you everything."

Rest in peace, Bowie, I'm devastated about this...

Never was a big fan but I appreciate his work and the news of his passing came very unexpected.

He sure was an influential and iconic rock musician. Rest in Peace David.

A typical case of someone who had a lot more art in him. I really think he could've been making wonderful things until he would a hundred years old.
Listening to Nothing Has Changed right now. Rest in piece, David.

Saw the breaking news on the tv while in the gym tonight, left me completely shocked.  Such an amazing icon gone too soon, can't believe it.  Such an elegant and charasmatic man and to keep this to himself shows the class and dignity of this man.
Everyone else, except Wolfking is wrong.

So much worse when it comes out of nowhere. Of all the people to lose in 2016 i'd never have expected it to be David.

God fucking dammit! I read this on facebook when I woke up. I have to agree with Kowtoboy here, this came totally out of nowhere which makes it a lot worse. He had just released an album and I thought maybe, just maybe he had recovered enough from his problems that he could go out on tour again. So fucking sad  :'(

Looks like i'll be having a marathon of his discography later today. Haven't even heard Blackstar yet.

Truly an amazing musician!

Huge shock when I saw the news this morning. Absolutely no one like him before, since, or to come, ever.

Thanks for the music, and RIP.

RIP

Never got into his music but he was an artist in every sense of the word. Glad he got one last album out.
