One year on and the shock of hearing the news comes flooding back. I think I'd like to spend the day listing to his music with joy this year rather than sadness. RIP David Bowie.
I just watched the David Bowie documentary Finding Fame, about his early years. It's available on iplayer until early March, worth a watch for Bowie fans.

I saw it over the weekend - excellent documentary.
I was listening to "The Man Who Sold the World" in the car this morning with a smile and a tear, rather than just the tears of last year.
RIP David
Oddly i was listening to this in the car today,forgot how good it is. I also like the kurt cobain cover but its annoying how many people think its a Nirvana song. RIP both

Seeing Holy Holy at London Palladium next week, band which includes Woody Woodmansey (Spiders drummer) and Tony Visconti along with Glenn Gregory (Heaven 17) on vocals. They are performing Man Who Sold the World and Ziggy Stardust albums in their entirety, saw them last year as well and they put on a fantastic show. Well worth seeing for any Bowie fans.
Really enjoyed "Finding Fame" and also just watched "Five Years" again which is, from a more musical perspective, is in my opinion as good.
There's so much behind how Bowie made his songs different as highlighted by Rick Wakeman's explanation of how Bowie used unusual chord changes in "Life On Mars".
It is the combination of change of persona to wide ranging music styles that made him so unique.
Anyone else finding it hard to listen to Blackstar? I bought it on pre-order not expecting anything special, but was blown away, playing it three times in a row, back to back. I instantly rated it as one of his finest albums. The very next day the news came through that he’d died, and I was sent to Brixton for ITN, and spent a couple of days covering the story. Bowie was a big part of my life from my mid teens, and loved most of his albums up to the mid eighties. But right now I find listening to Blackstar much too painful, which I think makes me a major snowflake. Not sure if I’ll ever be able to give it a spin again.
