Sad news, only saw his advert for his new album on tele on Friday. He didn't look well but I had no idea he was actually so ill...
BBC radio 2 were very slow with this news this morning. They finally announced it at 7.18, 45 odd minutes after others started talking about it. 10 minutes later they were playing a very highly produced tribute track.
So to me it sounded like they thought it was another hoax, and then when they realised it was true, they had a pre-produced tribute ready to play.
Sara Cox said "as DJ's we frequently have the honour and privilege of announcing momentous news on Radio 2..... Davis Bowie is dead".... (or very similar words)
No emotion or sadness in her voice.... very weird.
If you look back on this thread, at 6.52 it was believed that it was a hoax.BBC radio 2 were very slow with this news this morning. They finally announced it at 7.18, 45 odd minutes after others started talking about it. 10 minutes later they were playing a very highly produced tribute track.

Getting the facts straight is no bad thing IMHO.
I haven't looked because I don't want to be depressed and angered by the possibility, but I suspect that the SNP Cybernats will be figuratively dancing on his grave following his heartfelt public comment at the Brits just before the Scottish indyref.
A man who will be greater even in death than an infinite number of bigots in their entire lifetime.
RIP.

I guess we are all being a bit selfish having lost for some of us somebody who was a huge part of our teenage years but he had a wife and son, condolences to them for their loss.
True.RIP David though have a feeling that rest was never big on your agenda.
There are lots of good musicians and performers but very few true artists. David was one.
RIP David Bowie

Tasteless to drag politics into this thread. A man who will be greater even in death than an infinite number of bigots in their entire lifetime.
RIP.

In work and unable to remove this lump from my throat. Thanks for all the great songs and ideas David.
Lazarus, with his recent death in mind, is devastating.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y-JqH1M4Ya8

Such a shame about Hoax news like this, you'd think it would be made an offence to maliciously make these hoax announcements. Sad indication of our world.

That is very powerful, and as you say Derek, the end in particular is devastating. Edited to add - if not a little disturbing.Edited by RegMolehusband on Monday 11th January 10:33
Brilliant talking heads on Vic Derbyshire show right now.
Bob Dylan, Johny Cash and Bowie, all recognised as legends who kept relevant and creative during lengthy careers.
I am only aware of some songs (due to their film connections) but I always enjoyed his acting performances. Labyrinth in particular, and his little stint in Extras, which popped into my mind as I saw Gervais tribute just on the Vic show.
