He was a one of a kind.

Original and innovative throughout his career. I can't think of any other musician that comes close in that regard.

RIP

I'm with sun on this one. Celebrity means pretty much nothing to me but David Bowie was another thing entirely. I'm genuinely upset about this.

I grew up in the 70's and 80's and David Bowie was a massive influence in my youth. I still listen to his music today while driving back and forth from the coast.

I'm so sad to hear of his passing.

RIP Starman...

Huge loss. I was a big fan, far from the biggest but I have everything he's done. I remember renting his CDs from the library and liking each one a little more than the last. My friend has a mounted picture of Bowie in his living room, he's probably shedding a tear right now ha.

A true individual.

Always pursued his own path and we were all better for it.

Listening to him now and reminiscing. I certainly became a fan after his prime (my first memory of him was in Labyrinth and I never had any notion of him beyond that character when I was little) but I love a lot of the music he made. He did his thing and did it very well - carried my mind away to other worlds.

Sadly, I wasn't even aware he had been dealing with cancer.

It took me two seconds to realize this is even a possibility. Woah. I never considered myself "a fan", but there's no arguing with all that fantastic music.

He just released a new album 3 days ago, his 69th birthday. Reading reviews it sounds like the music acknowledges that perhaps the end was near. One of the 2 or 3 greatest solo artists of all time.

Is there anyone with more personas or incarnations than Bowie? Incredible character, amazing at his craft. He could fit into any era of music.

I never really considered the possibility that David Bowie might die.

I didn't know he was sick. Last I heard, he had just put out an album. Such a shame.

That sucks. Truly an original and talented artist. Seemed like a good guy too.

There's a rumour that he collaborated on the new Gorillaz album that is being released. I hope that ends up being true. It would be nice to enjoy some more of his work one more time.

Damn this is a huge blow. One of the greatest recording artists ever. His new record is really good and I was hoping he'd keep putting out new music. ��
